Ability for Admin to view a dashboard as another user

As an admin, have an option at the top of a dashboard to be able to view it as another specific user.

For example, if user John Smith is set under the data security on a cube to only have access to rows for a certain region, the ability to view a dashboard as John Smith would make checking user access very easy.

Hello everyone.

I have submitted this Idea to the product team and I will post updates here as they are available.

One of the ways we prioritize development efforts is by community interest. Please encourage other users to vote and comment on your suggestion, the more engagement a request receives, the higher the likelihood of it being considered for implementation.

Thank you for being a valuable part of our community!

As an admin we often have to setup data security, or troubleshoot users' issues/concerns, and it's difficult to do so when it relates to permissions. It would be very helpful to "login as" the user without having to know their pw.

Yes! The alternative is to create a secondary account for yourself and give it the same permissions as the person you're trying to test -- but this is cumbersome. A "view as" feature for admins would be so much more productive for testing/support purposes.
