Currently, it’s really hard for me as an admin to see what entities and documents my team members can access and which they cannot. We’re a small team of 10ish folks, but have a large amount of spaces with all kinds of overlapping venn-diagram-esque access rights. Again and again I realise that folks don’t see things that they should or see things they shouldn’t (less so, as I’m restrictive by default). Being able as an admin to view as another user would allow me to ensure that people see the right things. Thanks! ---

I don’t have any more votes left but I would give this a +1 if I did! ---

It would be amazing to add the ability to View As Workspace “Specific User” so that admins can evaluate the results of applied permission settings. Currently, we have to apply settings to a test account and log in as them manually or log in as the specific user in a separate browser/incognito. ---

There should also be a way for Admins to view all users from one page and their Space/Database accessibility. ---

+1 to this, would be really useful to see that the permissions you have applied to other users are working as expected ---

+1 I used to have that feature when I was administering [Salesforce.com](http://Salesforce.com). 100% this is very useful especially as you scale, easy check that permissions are done right, and access is sufficient before you give a green light to the user to start using the system. This could be a view or login as another user. ---

Just note that things might get complex when “Hide data from admin” is implemented. Would the admin see the user’s data when logged in as the user? In which case the data isn’t really hidden from the admin. @myg_ge Do you know how it was in salesforce? Could users have data that admins didn’t have access to? ---

Emm, good question, @RonMakesSystems. But I don’t think it is a technical question. But more like a general business question. In all businesses I ever worked for I signed an NDA or there were some sort of contract conditions with similar points about treatment of business data/knowledge, etc. I don’t remember me not being able to see someone’s “personal” information. And it was long before GDPR and stuff like that. 🙂 I suspect there might be no problem to hide sensitive data like emails, phones as soon as they are defined as related field types. What’s your view on this? ---

A System Administrator on Salesforce is able to see everything. ---

I would like the option as a Admin to “Assume Identity” so that I can see what the person I assume the Identity of sees. This would be helpful when setting up the new Fibery Infrastructure. It would be helpful for end user troubleshooting to see what is wrong without having to screenshare, walk to them, or get vague answers from them when they don’t understand what is going on. This would also be useful for setting up new users so we can automatically save certain views to their personal tab. I saw on some old post that the workaround for this is to see what permissions each person has. However, it doesn’t help me that much because I would have to memorize each entity and pretend I know what they can see instead of just physically seeing it and making changes to their live view/account. ---

This is a GREAT idea – would make troubleshooting the increasingly-robust permissions system much easier. ---

I think the simplies option is to ,login” as specific user and see everything withoit the ability to make changes. ---

My use case was mainly about being able to see the main navigation and what is visible. As Admin, I would have been OK to not see the things hidden from me. ---

Same here. Permission system is robust and I have to create new user and login as the user to get the idea. ---

+1 to be able to “view as another user” It’s the best way to troubleshoot and test for sure what someone else can see ---

I really need this as well. Now that I’m implementing Fibery for a larger team, with different areas, roles, I really need to see what they would see. Even on Fibery oficial video tutorials, they need to create another user to show the Admin view vs User view. However, paying for extra users just for testing how access, views and information is showing to specific users, groups would be really important. ---
