How do you hide a block based on user role. We've tried using tokens and conditions without success. Needs better documentation. I've attached our values that are not working.

Hi.

I found that I had to create/add the block inside of Layout Builder (i.e. via the Layout builder side bar), and set the conditional formatting there.

I.e. it doesn't seem to work if I set the conditions via the block content config form at /admin/content/block ....

I used "not contains" in [current-user:roles] and a certain role's machine name. It might be more user friendly if the dropdown was a generated list of options.

conditional-rendering

then when I do want it to show for a certain role, I used "contains" options in property = [current-user:roles] and value club_admin

That's terrible UI. What's the point on even putting those fields in the block only to confuse people?
