[support] block visibility based on role AND path

[Nick Young]

The issue is that i need to check on the combination of conditions, 
rather than just one.

IE:
I need the block to display only if BOTH conditions are met.
I need the block to NOT display if none or only one condition is met.

The built-in options only allow you to check for one type of condition 
(path OR role).

I need it to check for path AND role.
