👁️View as any user
View as (builder top bar) lets makers preview the app as a specific App User without signing out of the builder.
Where to find it
Builder top bar, near Publish. Default state is effectively Any user / maker view until you pick someone.
Requirements
App must be Private
Target person must exist as an App User
Personalized data / visibility only refreshes usefully after Users + Data Restriction are configured
What it is for
Confirm Screen Visibility Logic / audience menus
Confirm Data Restriction row filtering
Spot-check Pro+ logged-in user property list filters
Sanity-check private screens a user should not see
Steps
Open View as and search for the App User.
Use phone + desktop preview to click navigation and open records.
Switch back to maker / any-user view when finished.
Still run one real published login before handing the app to customers — View as is a preview, not a full auth substitute.
Tips
Empty picker → fix Users database linking / App Users first.
If records look wrong, reload data (Settings → Data) then try View as again.
Combine with Roles and navigation.
