Abstract: Let $Omega$ be a set equipped with an equivalence relation $sim$; we refer to the equivalence classes as blocks of $Omega$. A permutation group $GlemathrmSym(Omega)$ is $k$-by-block-transitive if $sim$ is $G$-invariant, with at least $k$ blocks, and $G$ is transitive on the set of $k$-tuples of points such that no two entries lie in the same block. The action is block-faithful if the action on the set of blocks is faithful. In this article we classify the finite block-faithful $2$-by-block-transitive actions. We also show that for $kge3$, there are no finite block-faithful $k$-by-block-transitive actions with nontrivial blocks.
