    You’re on fire @SmartlyGreg — this would be huge. Today we work around that with multiple accounts with different permissions and the old incognito window too — but this approach would be fantastic!

        Why didn’t I think of that one?!

        That would also negate the need for random test accounts to be created and forgotten about. I like it

            Sending this idea back to the top, it would be a great addition for our Community to ensure the correct content is available for certain roles.

            Adding my two cents here since this idea has been open for a while… we would love to have this functionality since there are some features that are only visible by Members, forcing us to create fake profiles to confirm what the member experience looks like (ie: Group categories).
