As an admin, you can manage users, content, and settings across the platform. Admin mode makes that easier by giving you extra tools right in your view, no digging through menus.

🔍 What admin mode lets you do
When you're an admin, you'll see a special toolbar at the bottom-left of the screen in the LXP. You also get access to extra menu options on activities, journeys, and programs.
With admin mode, you can:
Open widget settings instantly
Access Edit, Automations, and Reporting from the •• menu
Impersonate users to troubleshoot or preview the experience
🔥 Important: You must be assigned the admin role to see these features. If you don't see the toolbar or menu options, contact another admin to check your role in Control > Settings > Roles.
