Hiding a Module from Public View
...
If you need to hide a section of the page for some reason, uncheck the box “inherit view permissions from page”. You will then see that the permissions to “view module” are also unchecked. In the above view, regular users will not be able to view this module.
Special Editing Permissions
In order to edit a page or module if you are not a site admin, you will need to have that role associated with the page or module. For example, in the screenshot below, “all users” and “registered users” are unchecked, but the “content editor” role is checked. This module will be viewable/editable by content editors and admins, but not regular users.
If you are unable to edit a content section in a hidden module, an admin can help you by adding that role to the module and granting you permission to view and edit.

The first step is to make sure you can edit your module even after it is hidden from most users. To do this, go into the module settings and look for the dropdown “Filter by Role”. Select “All Roles.”
...
Next, you’ll use the second dropdown menu section, “Select Role”, to add your editing role to this module.

Click “update” to complete.
Unhiding a Section
If a section is hidden and should be visible, in most cases the process is as simple as going into the module settings and clicking the checkbox for “inherit view permissions from Page.”
If this does not work, please contact a site admin because there may be an issue with the page permissions or a role itself, and may require more attention and support.
