Pretender - See what your users see

In plain words

Pretender is a tool that lets developers view their application from a user's perspective. It enables quick switching between different user accounts to test how features appear and function for various users. The tool is designed for developers who need to diagnose issues or verify functionality across multiple user roles without logging in and out repeatedly.
