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)

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 )
