If you need to see what a user sees, you can 'Impersonate' them. The impersonate icon looks like this Impersonate

There a number of places in Rosterfy you may see the impersonate icon. The main ones are listed below

The user listing page from the manage dropdown menu

You cannot impersonate any other admin, and you cannot manage the admin console while impersonating a user. If you are impersonating a user, you will see across the top of the portal a link to go back to the admin console.

Note: If you have multiple tabs of Rosterfy up, you will not be able to impersonate in one tab and use the admin console in another. You will be limited to one 'mode' at a time
