Hideki Saito 714c50bdb7 Merge pull request #639 from Klaas-/Klaas-fix_authorized_key (#731)
Fixes #462 notice permission denied on authorized_key module

SUMMARY
As of right now the authorized_key module does not notice on an "absent" if a authorized_keys file is simply not readable to the executing user. I am trying to fix that
ISSUE TYPE

Bugfix Pull Request

COMPONENT NAME
authorized_key
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Execute as a user that does not have access to the root users authorized keys file

- name: Delete key from root user
  ansible.posix.authorized_key:
    state: absent
    user: root
    key: ssh-rsa xxxxxxxx

- name: Delete key from root user
  become: true
  ansible.posix.authorized_key:
    state: absent
    user: root
    key: ssh-rsa xxxxxxxx

The one without become will succeed before my change and will fail with a permission denied error after my change. The 2nd task will actually remove a key from root user if become privileges are available for the executing user
