  • Just what I needed to group blocks within a permission block

    The Block Permissions block was just what I was looking for to restrict the visibility of a block to certain roles. Easy to use and works well (esp. since you can nest arbitrary blocks inside of a Block Permissions block). Thanks, Mehmet for a well-crafted plugin.
