   • Click on Site administration ► Plugins ► Web services ► Manage tokens

4. Ensure that the "Recently accessed courses", "Starred courses", "Online users", "Course over view" and "HTML" blocks are enabled
5. Open the settings of both Recently accessed courses", "Starred courses" and set the "Display categories" setting ON
6. Now, as the user you created the token for in step 2 access the site
7. Go to dashboard and configure it via the "Customise this page" option so all the blocks listed in step 4 are displayed
8. Please note that for some blocks like the "Starred courses" or "Recently accessed courses" one you need to do some actions like "star" a course or access a course. For the HTML block you will have to create some random html content.
9. Open the console an execute this new curl request, replacing wstoken with the token you just created and the site url with yours.

   curl 'http://localhost/m/stable_master/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json' --data 'wsfunction=core_block_get_dashboard_blocks&wstoken=WSTOKEN' | python -m "json.tool"

1. Please confirm that:
   • In the curl response you see the list of blocks in the user Dashboard
   • For the "recentlyaccessedcourses" block you'll see a list of configs including "displaycategories" set to 1
   • For the "starredcourses" block you'll see a list of configs including "displaycategories" set to 1
   • For the "html" block you'll see a list of settings including title and text (set to the block title and content) plus the "format" and "allowcssclasses" settings
