This module adds global permissions to control the creation, updating, and deletion of blocks within the Drupal admin interface. While older versions offered more granular control, newer Drupal core versions may provide similar functionality, potentially making this module redundant for some use cases.
This module adds a set of global permissions for creating, updating and deleting blocks. These permissions only affect the admin interface, front-end view access is handled in core.
Drupal 10.1
In Drupal 10.1 more granular block content permissions were added: #1975064: Add more granular block content permissions. This means that you might not need this module anymore, since the only relevant permissions it provides are:
- Edit own block content
- Delete own block content
In version 8.x-1.2 an update hook is provided that will automatically switch to the new permissions provided by core. If you're not using any permissions provided by this module anymore, the update hook will tell you.
Drupal 7
In 7.x releases, it provided permissions at the individual block level as well. These permissions could be configured
- either at the module level (all blocks generated by the same module) by going to
/admin/structure/block/block-access - or at the individual block level by going to
/admin/structure/blockand configuring the appropriate block
