QuickBase is updated and test as a role is now available to app managers and users in a role with Admin; Admin, Sharing; and Basic, Sharing permissions. Thanks for letting us know this is important. And please keep the feedback coming � we�re listening.

    One of my users is having the same problem.  He has Admin rights to the app, but he cannot see the Test in Another Role button.

    Gary, is this option checked for the user? If he has admin rights, he should be able to see "test as another role" and "test as another user" functions.

    This is selected on my app, and I'm not able to see it. I can only test as other user roles in my main app. It doesn't make sense.

    If you are an admin of an app, you should be able to test as role if that test as role box on the Hide UI settings in Role User Interface is not checked.

    The option is not there. My account information is not even available unless I'm in the main app. I think it's a bug. I have a support case.

    Got it! Had to go to Settings -> Branding -> Under Header Tab -> Uncheck Hide Quick Base standard menu options
