Hey, everyone. Welcome to Zine 101. In this tutorial, we will focus on how to test whether or not someone has access to your website. So this is super useful if you're trying to see what your customers see when they log in. Alright, so first we need to download a plugin. It's a third party plugin that works really well with leaky paywall and it's called User Switch or User Switching. Alright, there we go. So we can install this and activate it. And if I go down to leaky paywall and subscribers, I've got a dummy account set up here for us to test. You'll notice that after you install that User Switching plugin, that now we can switch to this, this user to see whether or not they actually have access. Now we can also look obviously at our grid here and see, you know, they do have access. This can also be handy if someone's calling you or emailing you and they can't figure out how to do something, you could switch into their account and essentially take care of what's going on. All right, that does it for this tutorial. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. See you next time.
