This module provides fine-grained control over who can administer blocks within specific regions of each theme. It adds permissions allowing administrators to grant access to view, update, or delete blocks on a per-region basis, going beyond the global "Administer blocks" permission.
The Block Region Permissions module allows you to control access to administer blocks within each theme's regions.
The following permissions are added:
- Administer: [theme] - [region]
- Grants access to manage a theme's region:
- View region's header, message, and blocks on block layout page
- View region in region selector fields on block layout page
- View region in region selector field on configure and place block pages
- Update or delete blocks placed in region
Installation and Setup
- Install the module as you normally would any module.
- Assign permissions created by this module to the role you want to grant access. Adding or removing themes and/or regions after enabling this module will automatically update on the permissions page.
- Add the following core permissions to allow the role access to the administer blocks pages:
- Use the administration pages
- Administer blocks
Note: The "Administer blocks" permission also grants full access to all pages related to block content and block content types. To restrict access to those pages, you can use the Block Content Permissions module.
