What is the best way to do permissions tests

Hello,

I have multiple models contain multiple sheets with a lot of permissions for the models and sheets as well.

I'm looking for a convinient way to do some tests on those models and sheets by the permissions side.

The best way would be to login as a specific user that I can choose but I don't know any way of doing that. (Like in SSAS for example)

I'll be glad to get some suggestions about users and permissions tests.

Thanks,

Tomer

When I test my app for different users, I cannot Login as other users

As I get the authorization from a database table, I Change this table for my own user and

test different roles. I always log in as same user, but through changes in the

authorization table I can test each role and how the app changes the behaviour

And do not forget to backup! If you lock yourself out the document, there is no way to get it back.

I think they should add an option to login as different users as well.

Thanks anyway, I was hoping there is a nicer way of just changing my authorization everytime.
