That is not the problem. When you go to the UI, you are logging in as
an admin and therefore logging out as the user you are testing. When you
re-login as the user you are testing, voila! They are a dealer.

This is because the dealer parameter is only set upon login. If you
wanted to do that without logging out and then back in again, you
could do:

	[userdb get_values]

Or probably more simply:

	[set dealer]1[/set]
