View as allows you to see the Q&A section exactly as a selected question team participant would — including the questions they can access and how they appear from their perspective.
💡 This functionality is available to answer coordinators with project administrator role only.
To check how Q&A looks for a specific user:
Click the View as button in the top-right corner of the Q&A.
In the opened window, select a user you’d like to review.
Only active users are listed.
You can select one user at a time.
While viewing as a different user, the system will remind you whom you are viewing as with a banner message.
You’ll see only the content visible to that user. To return to your regular view, click the X on the banner or refresh the page. All disabled buttons and restricted areas will return to normal behavior.
Question list
Shows only questions belonging to the user.
All threads are in read-only mode.
Displays only Submitted, Answered, and Closed statuses (Drafted questions are excluded).
The quick access menu shows All, Answered, Submitted, and FAQ categories with corresponding counters.
Filters and search work as they would for the selected question team (without “Drafted” status).
Threads
When viewing individual threads:
You can see posts visible to the selected user.
The Activity section is hidden.
Buttons Edit and Delete remain visible but are disabled.
The editor is visible but disabled (for Submitted questions that normally allow follow-ups).
Attachments
When viewing attachments in threads:
Attachments are shown according to the permissions of the selected user.
You’ll see only files or folders that the selected user can access.
💡 While in “View as,” all actions remain disabled — you can browse, but you can’t modify questions or answers.
This mode is helpful for verifying question visibility or confirming that sensitive information is restricted properly for each team.
