The masquerade block appears even if you don't have access to switch users:

- enable masquerade and the masquerade block. optionally add some quick switch users too
- log out and see how the (empty) block appears even though the anonymous user does not have access to any masquerade permission.

The quick links lead to an access denied, so this is not a security issue, but the block should not be displayed.

patch.

PS: probably a good idea to switch from 'master' to a '7.x-1.x' branch in git.

Patch works as expected.

Issue still exists, and submitted patch works, in rc3, too.

I use the patch and rc3 on another website and it works well.

+1 for the patch.

It is an easy if() block and prevents that the block is shown to any user that is not currently masquerading or doesn't have appropriate access rights.

I'm alright with committing this after #1185018: Rename master branch to 8.x-1.x is resolved so we know where it should go and not get lost in the conversion.
