View as another user for admins

Sounds like maybe you are after a way to temporarily turn off admin capabilities, no?

"Non-admin" mode for admin :0)

In short: The ability to switch to a mode in which all settings (links) available to administrators are not visible. Why: In day-to-day work in a “flow” state, all these unnecessary links (apps, buttons, menu items) are very distracting. Excessive cognitive load. Solution options: The solution is generally universal and most likely has already been discussed on the forum. A set of pre-configured interface types, with the ability to switch between them. As an example, how this is implemente…

It looks like yes. The option create different “Roles” and posibility to easy switch between avaliable Roles with different permisions will be more customizable and efficient.

I’ve already voted for this before, but I’d still really, really like to see this implemented.

Our use case is that I have the need to add some users as an admin (e.g. our CEO) so that they “have control”, but don’t want to add all the additional UI complexity to their day-to-day views, and avoid the potential for accidental configuration changes which that brings.

Why do they need control if they cannot be trusted to make configuration changes?
Is it a psychological thing?

Haha perhaps it’s time to make a “VIP” class that feels like they are the most important person there but they have less rights than an admin (without knowing )

Now over 6 months of building stuff in Fibery, this issue is happening a lot more often.

I have only just starting using more complicated cases with Custom Access Templates. The flexibility of these combined with auto linking is really incredible, wow!

But with that great flexibility is even more need for the Architect to actually see the outcome.

So far when I’ve got it wrong there hasn’t been too much “damage” by accidentally over sharing. But as user numbers grow and I bring in more sensitive information into Fibery, I’m worried I’ll over share something. One wrong toggle to “extend” and suddenly the whole company can see private information and I have no idea because I can’t “see what they see”.
