How to see fiscaldoo as another user sees it
What is it for?
It shows a user's access rights and menus, to confirm what they see without asking for their password or changing your session. It is read-only: it does not act on their behalf.
When to use it?
- When a colleague says “I cannot see menu X” and you want to check whether their profile has it.
- After assigning a profile, to check the result.
- Do not use it to change access rights: for that, see Profiles and permissions.
Where to find it?
Settings › Users & Companies › View as…
Before you start
Your profile is the system administrator, who has Settings. Done on 1 November 2026, in Empresa Demonstração, Lda.
How to use it
- Open Settings › Users & Companies › View as…. The window says “Read only: shows the menus and the access of the chosen user. It does not change your session nor act in that user's name.”.
- In User, type part of the name, for example “Faturação”, and choose the user from the list. If you type a name that does not exist, the field offers Create “…”: do not use it, because it opens a user form in a read-only window.
- Read Access (read only), with Read and Write for each area, and the Menus list.
- Click Close.
Expected result
For the demo invoicing user, the window shows Invoicing and accounting entries with yes and yes, Individual salaries and Workers with no and no, and Users and Apps and modules with yes for read and no for write. The menus are those of the Invoicing, Point of sale, Sales, Expenses, Contacts, EDI, Discuss, Dashboards and Calendar apps, and do not include Accounting or Management.
Important notes
- It shows what the profile has, not what the company has configured. A menu may be missing because of missing data and not because of missing permission.
- The user list includes test users. The demo ones appear with the name and “(demonstração)” or “(teste)”.
Common problems
I cannot find the user
- Cause: the user is archived, or the name does not match.
- What to do: type fewer letters. If it still does not appear, check in Settings › Users & Companies › Users whether it is active.
