[Building Sakai] Quick Question on View Site as if in Different Role - SAK7924

[Hannah Reeves]

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the follow-up. We just (as in 5 about  minutes ago) 
discovered that anyone who is a member of the admin workspace apparently 
can't see this option in the UI on other sites. When we created a test 
instructor site and checked it out, the drop-down appeared just fine. 
Not sure if this is by design, but that appears to be how it's working.


Best,

Hannah
