View as Supervisor lets coordinators and admins see FieldX exactly as a specific site supervisor sees it. Use it to verify a supervisor’s dashboard, tasks, and sites without asking them to screen-share — and without any risk of changing their data.

​
When to use it

  • Confirming a supervisor sees the right students and cohorts before the semester starts
  • Debugging why a supervisor reports missing tasks, sites, or hours to sign off on
  • Previewing how a new evaluation form appears in the supervisor’s queue
  • Onboarding new coordinators by showing them what supervisors actually see

​
Starting a session

  1. Go to My Program → Members and open the Supervisors tab.
  2. Find the supervisor you want to view as.
  3. In the row actions, click View as Supervisor.
A confirmation toast appears, then SimCare opens the supervisor’s Field Experience dashboard in your current window.

​
The amber banner

While impersonation is active, a sticky amber banner stays pinned to the top of every page. The banner shows:
  • The supervisor’s name
  • The Read-only label
  • A live countdown timer (default 1 hour)
  • An Exit Supervisor View button — click to return to your coordinator account immediately
You’ll see the supervisor’s Overview KPIs, tasks, sites, and profile exactly as they would.

​
What’s read-only

View as Supervisor is a strict read-only mode. You can navigate freely, but you cannot:
  • Sign off, approve, or deny hours or tasks
  • Post comments on student submissions
  • Save changes to the supervisor’s profile
  • Modify sites, students, or any supervisor-owned data
If you try, the write is blocked and a small toast explains why.

​
Audit log

Every impersonation session is recorded in your Activity Log (My Program → Activity Log):
  • Who started the session
  • Which supervisor they impersonated
  • Start time and exit time
  • Whether the session timed out or was exited manually
Coordinators can review past impersonations to satisfy security or accreditation requirements.

​
Session lifetime

  • Auto-expires after 1 hour — the session ends automatically and you’re returned to your coordinator account
  • Single active session — starting a new impersonation ends the previous one, whether it was a student or supervisor session
  • Browser-tab scoped — the impersonation cookie applies only to the tab you started it in
If your hour runs out and you still need to debug, just click View as Supervisor again on the same supervisor. A fresh session starts.

​
View as Supervisor vs. View as Student

Both flows use the same read-only, audit-logged pattern, but target different roles: Only one impersonation session can be active at a time — starting one automatically ends the other.
