View as a test user

View as a test user

As a teacher using Canvas, when I'm making edits in my online content, I can jump into a default 'test student' to see how things look to make sure my edits are coming out as planned. As a project administrator in ACC working to help set up a lot of new templates for our projects, it'd be nice to have something similar to test at a few different levels to make sure the people I want to see/access certain content are able to, without having to consistently ask them to check for themselves & report back. 

 

Having a default test user would be my ideal option since it doesn't seem to interfere with anyone else. I know I've seen some other software that had the ability for certain admins to view as specific users, which wouldn't be a terrible option either. Any other ideas would be great!

This is a great idea, and would really simplify the process of setting up permissions schemes across the organization.

 

Edit: There are quite a few similar posts for this concept, it seems like lots of people want this feature.
