Switching roles is a useful feature for testing and improving content on your site.
The Allow role switches tab allows Site Administrators to configure which user roles can temporarily switch to other user roles. For example, you may want Editing Trainers and Trainers to be able to view courses as they would appear to Learners.
- Go to Quick-access menu > Permissions > Define roles.
- Select the Allow role switches tab.
- For each role (displayed on the left-hand side of the table) check the boxes to determine which roles users will be able to switch to.
- To switch roles, go to Administration > Course administration > Switch role to... and select the role you want to use.
The selected role must also have the Switch to other role (role:switchroles) capability to be able to switch.
