If you perform an action while previewing as another user, who is credited with the action?

When you perform an action while previewing as another user, the system attributes that action to your username, not the user you are previewing as. This design ensures accountability and maintains a clear audit trail. It allows system administrators and users to accurately track who performed the action, helping in compliance and security protocols.

This setup is vital for maintaining proper user activity records, as it provides clarity and prevents confusion regarding user actions within the system. Even though the preview functionality allows you to view elements as they would appear for another user, any actions taken while in this mode still register under your account, emphasizing the importance of user responsibility in data management environments.
