I need to show a block to users who have multiple roles. For example: accountant and employee. I do not want to use permissions. I need a simple solution.

is there anyone who can direct me?

You could use hook_block_view_alter() in your theme's template.php

function MYTHEME_block_view_alter(&$data, $block) {
  global $user;

  $roles = array('accountant', 'employee');
  $required_roles = array_diff($roles, $user->roles);

  if ($block->delta == 'YOUR-BLOCK-DELTA' && !empty($required_roles)) {
    $data['content'] = $data['subject'] = NULL;
  }
}

The array_diff() here will check that the roles the user needs to have appear in the user's roles array. If either accountant or employee do not appear in $user->roles it will set the block's content/subject to NULL and Drupal will not display it.

You can use Context module which has possibility to display content and it supports AND/OR operations for specific conditions (such as role selection).

  • there isn't any condition base on username. you can define it under roles. nothing changes!!

  • @shekoufeh Why there should be a condition per username? It's not Drupal-way. For that reason there are roles. You apply specific role to the username to which you want to show a block.

You can show a block for specific roles on the configurationpage of the block. Navigate to admin/structure/block and click "configure" next to the block you want to set the restrections. Then scroll down to "visibility settings" and select for which roles the block must be visible: enter image description here

    I guess if we do like this, the individual roles (who have only accountant or employee) can access the block. But OP don't want that.

    I do not think this solution works for both roles(and condition only)

  • in this way accountants or employees can see the block to! I need to display it just to people who have both of rolls employee AND accountant!
