Add masquerade in admin menu and create a page

I have this same problem (working on a site that has no sidebars, and thusly nowhere to sensibly place the masquerade block) and came up with this as a solution / workaround:

1 Make a panel page with the masquerade block as it's content.
2 Bookmark that page.

Simple and low-tech, but effective.

In my response 2 is the next step after 1. If you don't do 1, you can't do 2. ;-)

Perhaps there's some other way to display a block as a page -- yes: http://drupal.org/project/insert_block

So, using Insert Block you can make a page that contains the masquerade block. Then you can bookmark that page.

If by admin menu, you mean the menu provided through the admin module, there's a configuration page to add blocks to it. The path is: admin/config/user-interface/admin (I believe thats also a page without the admin module installed - at least that was true of the prior 6.x version). I just added the masquerade block to it; haven't tested it yet, but in theory this should work.

If the above is true, then be sure that after you add the custom block (or in the particular case the masquerade block), you go to the rebuild tab and rebuild the menu.

A side note, this is not for using the admin toolbar which is now in Drupal Core. This is a tool I used on Drupal-6.x and I just prefer it to the toolbar, and it has more configuration options that I can locate.

I haven't tested it very much yet, so this may not update as needed for this to be a functional implementation.

EDIT: Sorry, I thought this was Drupal 7.x, my bad. In Drupal 6, though the same module works and there is a page to add blocks to it somewhere, though not at the same path.

Masquerade integration used to happen out of the box AFAIK.

It appears that it should indeed work out of the box. I've had no such luck, either. Currently running Drupal 6.22, as there are other inherited site issues that need to be resolved before the jump to 7. I think jruberto's 1-2 punch will suffice for now, as it will not see the constant use that would justify cluttering the user's dashboard.

Let's pop this up to D8. What's the best way to integrate with Admin Toolbar?

Suppose good idea pointed in #1836516-10: Port Masquerade to D8 and rewrite + simplify it into a new 2.x series and next comments

A controller for a page with the bloc rendered and a link in the admin menu under /admin/people/masquerade would already be great.

Created a controller as suggested and rendered masquerade block in it.
Added new task under user collection page.

Please review and let me know if you have further suggestions

I additionally added a menu link for better UX

And attached the current patch for better DX :)

Hm.. Maybe we should place the link at the same place where the "Unmasquerade" link appears?

The above MR is applied successfully for Masquerade v8.x-2.x-dev. It is working.
Attaching the screenshot for the reference.
Test Steps:

• Setup Drupal with Masquerade v8.x-2.x-dev
• Enabled Masquerade module
• Apply patch - https://git.drupalcode.org/project/masquerade/-/merge_requests/4.diff
• Go to Admin > people > Click on Masquerade Tab
