Show Inaccessible Menu Link

Drupal automatically hides menu items for paths that are not accessible by the current visitor. This is often very useful, but occasionally it is preferable to show the menu item, and show an 'access denied' page after the user clicks on it.

Unfortunately, there is no such functionality in the Drupal core. This module aims to fill this gap. It adds a new form element titled 'Ignore access' to the menu link edit screen. To use it, one or more
of the roles should be selected. If a visitor has one of the selected roles the menu item will always be rendered, even if the current user has no access to it!

If a visitor clicks on such a link but has no access to it, the standard Drupal 'access denied' 403 page is shown.
