Currently, it's "by design" (though not optimal) because for admin users, all authorization checks are bypassed, so "student view" doesn't have any effect. To see it, you have to login as a regular user.

It appears that users in the admin role (e.g. who are members of the Admin workspace) cannot see this change in UI. Does anyone know if there is a way to enable this or was this by design?

This is in 2.6.

Just looking for confirmation at this is in 2.6???
We're starting our transition planning.

This will be in 2.6. There are a couple of related issues that have surfaced (see the linked issues above), but nothing too severe.
The ability for a user to view the site as it would be viewed by a user with a different role in the site. For example, an instructor being able to view a site as their students see it.
This is similar to, but not the same as the SUTool, which allows admin users to view the site as a specific user would see it.
