Smc's Role switcher

Content Type: Module
Categories: User Interface

Overview

Using this module, users can switch their associated userroles directly from the app. So if you are logged on as a tester, you can select another role, for instance 'employee', and get logged out and in again, and you will see all options granted to userrole 'employee'.

This is available running it locally, on the test- and the acc-environments. For obvious reasons this is not available on a production environment.
