## Beschreibung

Simple User Role Switcher allows administrators to seamlessly switch between different
user roles in WordPress to see how their site looks for each role. Ideal for WooCommerce
sites, membership sites, or any scenario where it’s important to test how content
and features appear to different roles.

This plugin simplifies the testing process by allowing quick switching between user
roles directly from the admin toolbar without logging out. It also supports viewing
the site as a guest user for better testing of logged-out experiences.

### Features

 * **View as Guest:** Easily switch to a guest user to see the experience of logged-
   out users without logging out of the site.
 * **View as Different User Roles:** Test the site as different roles, such as Subscribers,
   Customers, Editors, etc.
 * **Simple Switching:** Use the admin toolbar to switch roles quickly and revert
   to the original role easily.
 * **Compatibility:** Works with major plugins such as WooCommerce, BuddyPress, 
   and popular page builders.
 * **Admin Toolbar Integration:** Role switcher integrated directly into the admin
   toolbar for convenience.
