This module provides two kind of permissions:

<ul>
<li>administer block instances</li>
<li>configure block instances</li>
</ul>

Users with 'administer block instances' permissions will be able to access all the settings of this module. Also, this kind of user can restrict which options are available to users with 'configure block instances' permissions. Each block instance may have their own access restrictions.

The options that can be restricted can be found inside the 'Advanced Settings' fieldset in the block instance configuration form of each block instance.

If site admins want to hide specific blocks they can restrict access to the block instance by selecting a set of user roles that will be able to edit the block instance. Users with 'administer block instances' permissions will not be restricted.

<h2>Other settings</h2>

Under the <em>Settings</em> tab, users with 'administer block instances' permissions will be able to define a set of extra settings for this module.

The first section allows one to restrict the blocks that can be displayed. It is usefull if you want to get rid of blocks like 'Execute PHP' or 'User login' from the available blocks that users with 'configure block instances' permissions can choose, when creating block instances.

The second section allows one to convert regions. If a block instance is installed from a feature, the region defined in the block instance may not exist in the current theme. The block <em>conversion textarea</em> allows to display all the blocks, for example, originally displayed in the 'left' and 'right' regions in the 'sidebar_first' and 'sidebar_second' regions.

The code format for conversion described above is:

<code>left|sidebar_first
right|sidebar_second
</code>
