Viewing Provider Context

When you click into a provider's dashboard from the Providers or Shelters page, you enter that provider's context. The header will show:

  • Provider name prominently displayed

  • "Viewing as Super Admin" badge (purple) indicating your elevated access

  • "Back to Super Admin" button to return to the super admin dashboard

This lets you see exactly what a provider admin would see, while reminding you of your super admin status.
