# Set or Clear the Staff View-as Role

`PATCH /v2/profile/view-as`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.stuut.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.stuut.ai/v2/profile/view-as`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Previews the current org through the given role's eyes: permission
resolution intersects the role with the staff baseline, so it can only
narrow access. A null role id clears the preview.

Successful Response

    - `name` string, required
    - `is_system` boolean, required

## Other responses
