Design view logged in user

Hi All,

Our app restricts displayed information based on the logged in users role, this has the unfortunate side effect of the visual editor not displaying information I would like it to display in the design view. Is there a way for the client be “tricked” into thinking a certain user from the user table is signed in?

This is my first time asking for help on a forum so apologies if im missing information needed or this is not in the right section!

The server model is NodeJS.
