## Overview
When you set up learning for your people, it helps to check how it looks from their side. SuperPath's **View as Employee** preview lets you see your Library the way an Employee would — with admin-only and restricted content hidden — so you can sanity-check what your learners actually see. This article shows how to turn the preview on and off, explains exactly what it changes, and answers the request we hear most: can I log in as a specific person to see their view?

## How to view the Library as an Employee
1. Go to the **Library**.
2. In the top-right of the toolbar, click **View as Employee**.
3. A banner appears confirming you're viewing as an Employee, and the Library re-filters to hide content an Employee wouldn't see.
4. To switch back, click the same button — it now reads **View as Admin**.

## What the preview does and doesn't change
The preview is a quick, visual filter of the Library — not a change to your account or permissions.

**It changes:**
* The Library content lists, hiding team-restricted content you're not on and any content marked as restricted, so you see roughly what an Employee sees.
* It adds a banner so it's clear you're in preview mode.

**It doesn't change:**
* Your navigation, admin sidebar or the Library toolbar — those stay visible.
* Your role, session or any permission — nothing is saved, and it resets when you refresh or leave the page.
* Anything outside the Library — the preview is Library-only. It doesn't preview the dashboard, the Pathway player or other screens.

> **Note:** The preview filters by your own team memberships, so it reflects a general Employee view based on the teams you're on — not exactly what one specific person on different teams would see.

## Can I log in as a specific person?
This is a common request, so to be clear: **SuperPath does not let you log in as, or impersonate, a specific individual user.** There's no way to step into a named person's session and browse as if you were them.

**View as Employee** is the supported alternative. It gives you a generic learner's-eye view of the Library so you can check visibility and presentation, without needing to sign in as anyone.

If you're trying to understand what a particular person has been assigned or how they're progressing, open their profile from **People** instead — you can view their assignments and learning there directly.

## Things to keep in mind
* The preview doesn't persist — refreshing the page or navigating away turns it off, and you'll need to click **View as Employee** again.
* Because it filters by your own teams, it's a guide to the Employee experience rather than a pixel-perfect match of any individual's view.
* The preview only covers the Library, so it won't show you how other areas of SuperPath appear to a learner.

## FAQs
**Can I log in as one of my users to see exactly what they see?**
No. SuperPath doesn't offer logging in as, or impersonating, a specific person. Use **View as Employee** in the Library for a learner's-eye preview, and open a person's profile from **People** to see their assignments and progress.

**Where is the View as Employee button?**
It's in the top-right of the Library toolbar. Click it to preview as an Employee; click it again (it will read **View as Admin**) to switch back.

**Why does the preview still show my admin menus?**
The preview only re-filters the Library content — it intentionally leaves your navigation and admin controls in place so you can toggle back easily. It isn't a full simulation of an Employee's account.

**Does the preview show what a specific team or person sees?**
It filters by your own team memberships, so it's a general Employee view rather than a match for one specific person. Two admins on different teams may see slightly different previews.

## Who can do this
Only **Owners** and **Admins** see and can use the **View as Employee** preview in the Library. **Managers**, **People Managers**, **Content Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users don't see the toggle.
