Steve, I think that I know what you mean.  I am using groups for forum discussions.  If I switch my role to student, I do not see any discussions because I am not a member of any group.  In your case, you are referring to group "assignments," and might be having the same problem.

Why not add a bogus student, put this student into a group, then log in as this student?

Yes, When I have two screens available then I would have two instances of Moodle open, one for me and one for the zombie student.  It is still a hassle having to refresh screens but it works.

It is not so easy then I have only one screen.

You gave me the answer in the first paragraph.
" If I switch my role to student, I do not see any discussions because I am not a member of any group."

I gave myself Teacher and Student status and assigned myself into the group.
It works the way I want.  Switching to other groups allows me quick access to seeing what any group layout looks like.

Granted, I have switching to do but for me, for now, this answers the question.
