Blocks Do You Need Admin Status For This Feature?

Blocks are not a main status option; they are added or removed on the Blocks tab. The main advantage is that blocks can be given an expiration date, and that they are not communicated to PIMMS (so a short-term hold does not effect a patron's magazines). The full details are written up in the tutorial; it should help you understand the difference between blocks and changing a patron's main status.
