    Before you begin

    Role required: admin

    About this task

    By default, the Experience Configurations table [sn_udc_experience_configuration] grants admins and delegated developers access to the experience switcher. To grant non-default roles access, add them to the Experience Visibility Controls table [sn_udc_experience_visibility_control]. For more information about default roles, see Roles and access in app development tools.

    • Admins and delegated developers can use the experience switcher because they may need access to any product where they've been delegated to administer or develop an app.
    • Creator Studio users and Creator Studio restricted users don't generally have access to the experience switcher because administrators limit them to a more curated experience.
