Often, when testing applications, integrations, or testing workflows for accounts (such as Community Engagement Accounts) a test user (or users) is required in order to view or see the experience of what other users will see when using your application
A Lucit test user allows a developer to create temporary accounts with temporary throwaway phone numbers in that will allow you to register, sign in and authenticate with a an SMS code
Getting Started
To get started, you must FIRST
Find a target object LCUID to attach your user to (typically an Account)
Creating a Test User
Start by switching to your User Profile, and, if assuming you have Developer Mode on, you will see a menu item called "Test Users". Visit the Test Users section

Click "Add Test User" to create a new user

Enter in the Object LCUID (that you gathered earlier), select a scope, and choose a lifetime

Once the test user is created you will be presented with a dialog showing the Mobile Number, Email, and SMS Code
Note : DO NOT close this dialog before using the SMS code. You will not be able to retrieve it aqgain

Armed with this information, you can now use another browser, incognito mode, or your mobile device to register with these user credentials
Scopes
Currently the only available scope is "Public Join Account". The user that you create will ONLY be able to join the account that you specify in the OBJECT LCUID for this user
If you see this message, this means that you are NOT the admin of any Community Engagement Accounts (Public Accounts). Either create one, or contact support for assistance

Some Notes
The SMS code is only visible once, if you lose it, you will have to delete the user and re-create it
After the user expires, the Test User AND the User Account that you create from it will be automatically deleted
Objects that this test user creates (creatives, accounts, etc.) will NOT be deleted
