      Would like functionality that allows you to view a Space as if a specific user or in a specific group

      In order to test out how a Space appears to different types of users I have to set up a test user and log onto the system using that user - possibly changing permissions in between.

      This is causing issues when multiple Space admins want to test permission schemes and we don't want to spend all our admin time changing test user permissions!

            I vote for this feature because it would be much more helpful especially for "normal" users to test their page before they share it to all people in an organisation.

            This week I myself created a page and pulled in images form another space. I thought the pictures were attached to a page that was available for everyone. I shared a page and then after 10 min our CEO got back to me with an email that some attachments were not viewable to him. This was embarrassing. I looked into the problem and soon discovered that the page with attached files had a two level higher parent which had page restrictions applied.

            Of course I tested my page before I sent it out but I had the highest permissions and didn´t notice the restrictions on two level higher page.

            This feature would make testing a page availability sooo much faster and easier.
