A question about the Group

Background:

I created some groups in my app and added my account to them.

The app has a site that’s visible to all users, but one page within the site is only visible to specific groups.

Questions:

1.When visiting this site, how can I switch between groups to test access?

2.I assume I can change my group by clicking this button (the first one in the screenshot). However, the groups I created aren’t listed here. How can I add them to this list?

Additional Info:

This issue occurred during the "Build an Application: Step-by-Step" hands-on practice.

>When I set the visibility of the [My Task] page in the site to "Always show", I can access the [My Task] page.

>But when I set its visibility to "Only visible to specific groups" (the intended setting), the [My Task] page doesn’t appear when I visit the site.

Additionally, groups from other apps are shown in the button’s list, but my created groups (W1481SA Registers/Mechanics/Supervisors) are missing.

    You cannot switch between groups as you're simultaneously a member of all groups you belong to. The reason the page isn't visible is most likely because you haven't logged out and logged back in after adding yourself to the group, which is required for group membership changes to take effect.
    The button you're referring to is Appian Sites selector, which shows sites you have access to based on your group memberships, not a group switcher. 
    If you need to test different group access levels, you'll need to use different test user accounts with different group memberships, as there's no group switching feature.
