What Is Member View?

Member view lets you preview your Mighty Network from the perspective of a specific member. As a Network Host (on web only), you can temporarily view your Network as any active full member or limited member — without creating a test account. Member view only allows for Network Hosts viewing as full or limited members. Hosts will not be able to view as:
  • Network moderators
  • Members with an inactive account (ie: banned, half account, invited but not fully joined etc…)
This is a read-only experience. You can explore what that member can view across plans, Spaces, and Collections, but you can’t post, message, make purchases, or change settings on their behalf.

​
Why Use Member View?

Member view can help you:
  • Confirm what a specific member can access based on their plan(s)
  • Troubleshoot questions about visibility or gated content
  • Check how promotional banners or targeted content appear
  • Validate your setup across plans, Spaces, and Collections
  • Resolve support questions faster
It’s designed to give you clarity and confidence in your access model — while protecting member privacy.

How to Find Member View

To preview your Network as a member:

You can also find this three dot menu on: When you view as the member, you will see a bar at the top of your screen.

Selecting the dropdown will allow you to switch between available members:

When you’re finished, click “Exit” in the upper right corner to return to your account. Important note: If you are logged into a different account on the same browser (but a different tab), it will disrupt the member view experience. We recommend opening up a new browser window before viewing as a member.
