block-manager's Issues

Role Settings

This plugin could become very powerful if it included the option to configure the block access per user-role.

Sync Settings Across Multisite

The ability to set this up just once and then sync the settings across all sites in a network would be super useful. (I can work around this using Broadcast + Copy Options).

Renaming blocks

Would be a great feature if we were able to rename the blocks and categories.

Display Experimental Blocks

Blocks with __experimental are not being displayed.
