One switcher now does what the Dashboard's `Admin` and `Assessor` buttons, `Switch portal` and
`Viewing as` used to do between them, and more.

## What's new

- **View as any role.** `View as…` in your account menu, on every page, lets you see Backed as any
  role in your organisation: an administrator, an assessor, an applicant or a verifier, for every
  round or for one. Network owners and administrators can do the same in their network's member
  organisations. Choose `View` to look around or `Act` to work as that role; either way, anything
  you change is saved under your own name and recorded in the audit log. See
  [View as another role](/administrator/users/view-as-another-role).
- **A banner and Exit.** While you view as another role, a banner at the top of every page says
  which role and organisation you are seeing, in the Administrator portal, the Assessor and
  Applicant portals and on Rounds. `Exit` brings you straight back as yourself, to the page you
  started from.
- **Your roles in one place.** People who hold more than one role now move between their portals
  from `View as…`, under `Your roles`, in the Administrator portal and at the foot of the Assessor
  and Applicant portals' menu. Administrators choose what leads their `Dashboard` (`Program manager`,
  `Finance` or `Board`) there too, from any page. See
  [Getting started as an administrator](/administrator/getting-started/getting-started-as-an-administrator#view-as).
