      I am currently not able to make the online users block invisible on user context pages such as the user profile or the My Moodle/My home pages.

      I've tried several different approaches to tweaking the visibility of information in this block. Please see the attached for details. The long and the short of it is that I can't turn it off in that context without shutting it off for the entire site and I can't make it invisible by role.
