I often want to view our admin panel while also creating test accounts that show what a non-admin user would see on their computer. However, the site seems to use cookies to track me so I can’t be two different people just by opening a 2nd tab. Would also be nice to be 3 or 4 different users so I can test social features and see how they impact multiple people at once. Would make testing, debugging, etc. a whole lot easier.
What are some simple / easy solutions for managing this? Best practices and tips appreciated. Thanks.
This might not apply specifically to your use case, but I’ll throw this in here anyway…
Most useful for pages that are type user like profile or account settings: Have a dropdown or auto-complete somewhere on the page that changes the user. This is only on the page for testing. So you could set the source of the page to dropdown/autocomplete’s value and change users on the fly. Great for testing different user data and permissions based on the user selected (admin vs non-admin).
