BlockBase::access

public BlockBase::access(AccountInterface $account, $return_as_object = FALSE)

Indicates whether the block should be shown.

This method allows base implementations to add general access restrictions that should apply to all extending block plugins.

Parameters

\Drupal\Core\Session\AccountInterface $account: The user session for which to check access.

bool $return_as_object: (optional) Defaults to FALSE.

Return value

bool|\Drupal\Core\Access\AccessResultInterface The access result. Returns a boolean if $return_as_object is FALSE (this is the default) and otherwise an AccessResultInterface object. When a boolean is returned, the result of AccessInterface::isAllowed() is returned, i.e. TRUE means access is explicitly allowed, FALSE means access is either explicitly forbidden or "no opinion".
