Permissions required

Members of the Owners and Partner Default Permission Groups can view your Organization as another Organization Member. Custom Permission Groups cannot be granted this permission.

The Permission Groups a Organization Member belongs to determine what they can see and do in your Organization. View As mode allows you to see the CloudCannon interface as it appears and functions for another Organization Member, so you can confirm what they can access, either before or after you change their Permissions.

View As mode only changes which resources you can open and edit in CloudCannon. It does not sign you in as that Organization Member. Any changes you make while viewing CloudCannon as some one else are still logged under your name. Switching Organizations or logging out of CloudCannon will end View As mode.

Start viewing as an Organization Member#

To view your Organization as another Organization Member:

  1. Navigate to the People page under Org Settings.
  2. Under the Members tab, click the Context Menu on the card for the Organization Member you want to view as.
  3. Select the View as [Organization Member Name] option. CloudCannon will open the View as [Organization Member Name] modal.
  4. Click the View as [Organization Member Name] button to confirm.

CloudCannon will reload and display your Organization with that Organization Member's permissions, with a Viewing as banner pinned to the top of the page.

A screenshot of the People page shows an Organization Member's Context Menu open, with the View as Stefan Collins option listed alongside Copy details and Remove from Organization.

While viewing as an Organization Member, you can only reach the areas of CloudCannon their Permissions allow. Options that need Permissions they do not have are hidden, and opening a page they cannot access shows a Permission denied message.

A screenshot of CloudCannon shows the Permission denied message that appears when you open a page the viewed Organization Member cannot access.

Stop viewing as an Organization Member#

To stop viewing as an Organization Member:

  1. Click the Stop button in the Viewing as banner at the top of the page.

CloudCannon will reload and return you to your regular view.

A screenshot of CloudCannon shows the Viewing as banner pinned to the top of the page, with the sidebar and Org Settings reduced to the options the viewed Organization Member's permissions allow.

You can also stop viewing as an Organization Member from the account menu in the App Sidebar by selecting the Stop viewing as [Organization Member Name] option.
