Hello, I have some custom blocks on my web site. Then I created new roles and added new users. I want to allow users to edit content of these block, but when I submit as a user (not admin) Its not possible. I grant "administer blocks" in permissions for all roles.
If its not possible, how can I create something like news on page? for example in left column. I need content that every autentificated user can edit.

I'm not sure I entirely understand what you're trying to do, but here goes... http://drupal.org/project/nodeasblock

The Node as Block module (http://drupal.org/project/nodeasblock) is a nice solution to allowing users to edit block content without letting them into all the other Administer Block tools. And if you create a custom node type for this (ie, "Block Content"), then you can set permissions allowing users to edit either all Block Content nodes or just their own.

That approach restricts the actual placement of the blocks to a site admin, but opens up the editing of what's in those blocks to the larger user base. And it spares ordinary users the Blocks admin page, which is the most intuitive corner of Drupal!

Of course, I don't know that Node as Block has been upgraded to Drupal 6 yet. But I've had very good luck with that module on several 5.x sites.

Hope that helps...

Go to User Management -> Permissions
Grant the user the following permission:
"administer filters"

Save and log in as the user, you'll see the editor :)

Enjoy.

There's also now the Block Access module: http://drupal.org/project/block_access

All set. I saw another post that indicated that the "Contextual links" permission controls access to the gear menu.Thanks
