View Dashboard As Role

Preview the dashboard as a community member (no staff roles) or as any configured Discord role. Verify your setup looks right before assigning roles to real users. No test accounts needed.

What is this?

A topbar control that re-renders the dashboard as if you held only the capabilities of a Discord role you pick (or as a plain community member with no staff roles at all). Your real write permissions stay intact while previewing, and the bot in Discord is unaffected; this is display-layer only.

Why you might want it

Before you trust a new moderator with a role, see exactly what they will see. Catch a leaked admin tool, a missing button, or an over-broad capability without spinning up a test account or asking a colleague to log in.

Setup time: under a minuteDifficulty: Easy. Most users get through it first try.

What It Does

Click View as… in your dashboard topbar and pick a preview target. The dashboard re-renders as if you had only that target's capabilities.

ℹ️

Note

Preview mode affects the web dashboard only. It does not change how the bot enforces permissions in Discord. Real users running commands or clicking panel buttons are still checked against their own real roles. You also keep your real write permissions while previewing, so you can't accidentally lock yourself out.

Two Preview Modes

Community Member

Preview the dashboard as a user with no staff roles. This is what a fresh joiner would see. Useful for checking that the Member Portal is configured correctly and that no admin tools leak into the non-staff view.

Specific Discord Role

Preview as any role configured in your Discord server. Great for tuning Moderator, Support, or custom role permissions before assigning them to real staff.

How to Use It

Open the menu

In the dashboard topbar, click View as…. It appears only for real admins of the current server.

Pick a target

Pick Community Member for a generic non-staff view, or pick any Discord role. The dashboard reloads with that target's capability set applied.

Exit when done

Click Exit preview in the amber banner at the top, or pick Yourself from the menu.

Safety Invariants

Only real admins of a server can enter preview mode for that server.
Members cannot preview other roles or enter any preview mode.
Preview is display-layer only. Writes still require your real permissions.
Preview does not affect the Discord bot. It only changes what you see in the web dashboard.
Your preview state is tied to your browser session. Exiting the browser does not persist.
