Our customers are having some trouble debugging notifications during the initial setup process. They find that it's difficult to test whether their notification delivery system is running without some visual aid. We should add a simple CLI tool and button in the dashboard to test their configuration. Both of these testing options should send a notification to the initiator.

CLI

Requires a single command, should notify the imitating user. Restricted to administrators.

As an admin:
