Hello,

I want to see what the app how it will look like for another app user. Is there any way we can set up a different user for the current user in-app for testing purposes?

Thanks,

Omi

For things like filtering its easy. If you use User().Email or something like that to filter just replace those entries with a variable. Then set the variable in the app onStart.

Set(currentuser, User().Email)

if you replace the variable setting in app onstart you can simulate another user for filtering etc.

But in terms of actual permissions the only way to test is to have a separate user account and login as that user. There is no way to simulate that.
