How to switch between Admin and User roles

Click your profile avatar, select "Switch account" to toggle between Admin and User roles without logging out.

Switch Roles: From Admin to User

Administrators can easily switch to a user account within the DrillBit application, allowing them to submit reports or perform tasks that require user-level access. This flexibility ensures that administrators can handle different responsibilities without needing to log in separately. To do this, log in to the DrillBit application using your admin username and password. Once logged in, click on your profile icon in the top right corner to open the dropdown menu. From the list of options, select 'Switch Account' to switch to a user account.

After switching, you can carry out tasks such as submitting reports or any other activities that require user permissions. To return to your admin account, follow the same steps, but this time select 'Switch Account – Switch to Admin' from the dropdown menu.

To switch back to the admin account from the user account, you can follow the 'Switch Roles: From User to Admin' guide for more information.

Switch Roles: From User to Admin

Users who also have administrative privileges in DrillBit can easily switch their role from User to Admin. This functionality is particularly useful when a user needs to access administrative features after working within the User account. Switching roles from User to Admin allows individuals who manage both user-specific tasks (like submitting reports) and administrative duties to efficiently toggle between their roles without needing to log out and back in.
