Does it change my real database session?

It changes your local browser state (cookies/tokens). If your server verifies these, it will treat you as the new user.

Can I share these roles with the team?

Yes! User presets are saved in a Git-friendly format for team-wide use.

Use Case Guide

Test your app's permission logic with one click. Save user presets and switch between roles without re-authenticating.

Testing different permissions usually requires logging in and out multiple times or managing several 'Incognito' windows.

DevConsole lets you define 'User Presets' that store specific role metadata or session tokens, allowing you to swap them instantly via the UI.

Create a list of users (e.g., 'Super Admin', 'Viewer') with their associated session state.

Use the DevConsole role switcher to apply the desired preset to your session.

Ensure the UI elements and API requests correctly reflect the selected user's permissions.
