There have been a few times recently when I needed to see what something looked like from the perspective of a non-privileged user. What I’ve done was find an example user & “impersonate” them.
When I’m done, I have to log out & back in.
It would be nice if I could stay “me” and just temporarily downgrade what I’m seeing.

But there aren’t many [“visible” differences](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/) between trust level users. You won’t “see” much through your goggles unless you have heavily customized your trust level. These are mostly usage restrictions.
As a trust level 3, you’ll be able to edit title/categories from others’ topics, stuff like this, but that doesn’t seem that interesting to “see” until you know, and there is little to know. You could have a secondary account and change its trust level before impersonating it, it’s a matter of a few seconds. This is what I do.
Have you some valuable examples of what you’d be interested in seeing through these “goggles”? 😃

Yes, exactly. Shortly after I gained global admin, I completely forgot which parts were and were not visible to me prior to gaining the privs. I’d like to see what lower-level users can see/do _before_ I tell them to use features they don’t have access to.

I have a test user logged in with a different browser (ie. me in Chrome, and test user in Firefox) so I can swop between them easily. I also sometimes use an incognito/private window, but that’s only good for anon things, and not logged in things.
I think something similar was requested recently in this topic:
["Regular mode" for admins and moderators (e.g. something like "sudo")](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feature-request-regular-mode-for-admins-and-moderators-something-like-sudo-for-the-ui-basically/211617)

We discussed this feature a bit here:

> As far as I’m aware, there is currently no way to ‘stop impersonating’ a user. In order to do this now, you have to log out, and then log back in as yourself. It’d be nice if there were a link to ‘stop impersonating’ the user in the user avatar dropdown menu: [image]
We do agree that there is a common desire to be able to “impersonate down” to TL1 etc. It is something that cal help theme component designers quite a lot cause sometimes you lean on staff features by mistake and then get surprised when the component is deployed to production.
