Newb here…We have about 10-12 different users (factories) and I want to be able to see the records that are assigned to them. How can I impersonate them? I used to be able to do it before the major update occurred…now I do not know where/how to do it.

Thanks  
Dom

Yes, a lot moved around in the interface recently…  
I suppose Stacker support will follow after the w/e, but  
since I’m here, there is a “Preview as” option that looks like a “play” button:

Good luck!

@backyardoutfitters

As per ianf, you can now preview by pressing the play button in your admin panel. You can then search in the preview section for a particular user you would like to impersonate.
