As an admin, view Port as a member

Gustavo Bini

As admin users, we have full visibility on everything that's available in Port. We can already control what users see and interact with, but we cannot easily confirm if the changes we have made are correctly tailored to them.

It would be very helpful to be able to preview the changes.

Act as member

Act as member (switch to gain visibility on how permissions look from a member perspective)

I join the request.

Would be ideal to impersonate as we can do in Gitlab for example. The idea of impersonate is to check the changes and interact as if we were another kind of user/team/group and check our permissions changes easily.

Edgardo thank you for adding your vote and sharing your use case! We are definitely looking into how to improve these areas.

Change UI view according to role

Yair Raiter

As an admin i would like to change to user view to check if the permission that i set are correct and working properly

In the current state i need to change my admin permission to user to check the user view and ask a teammate to change them back

Ability to impersonate another user

Aidan O'Connor

Currently, administrators configure the Port UI to ensure the experience is ideal for their end users: developers. However, to ensure the end-user views the things they should be able to view in the ways they intend, admins must create a separate user profile and login to this profile to view this.

Ideally, administrators would be able to have an "impersonate a user" capability that makes this sort of quality control testing easier.

Aidan O'Connor this FR already requests the exact same thing, probably better to upvote it instead:

Alon Moscovitz: good call! Should've expanded my search past "impersonate" 🤦‍♂️ thank you!

It would be great if as an Admin, I can view Port as a specific user, so I can test their permissions and make sure that user can only see and access what is right for their role and/or team.

It would be fantastic to also be able to select the teams that would be applied as well, so that access controls can be tested.
