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.
