It's me again. :-)
When i disabled blocks at "My Account" it just works for the admin himself. Another user still can see the blocks. Is this a feature or a bug?

It's supposed to be a feature. Maybe a bad one. You have to set the permissions at admin/user/access for the roles which will be affected by the module. I put instructions to do that on the settings page, but I know I should have a README too. Do you think this permission is just kind of in the way and should be removed? Or perhaps the permission should be reversed to be 'not affected by myaccount_alter' so that by default everyone is affected?

I think it would be great to have an option which makes the admins setting of MyAccount_alter global for every user. Otherwise users would be able to change settings which - in my oppinion - will not be used by a lot of users.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I think I will just try to turn the permissions around so that it works the way most people will want it without having to set the permissions. This also got me wondering why we can't just set permissions to default to ON, so I'll see if I can work on that for Drupal 7.

I changed the permissions so that the module will work as expected out of the box.
