What is the problem to solve?

There are several problems with the current user-edit forms. Since less privileged users often have permission to view and edit their own account information, we should consider using different design, interface text, and so on from other entity types.

If users have the required permissions, they should be able to update

  • user name, password, e-mail
  • localization/personalization (time zone, preferred language, contact settings)
  • user picture
  • other site-specific fields

We should consider changes to

  • Information architecture (menu structure, path structure)
  • Page titles
  • Tab and sub-tab titles
  • Grouping fields on one or more page
  • Field labels and descriptions
  • User experience (UX) when editing and submitting the form

This issue is intended to be a parent for several existing issues and to provide a central place to discuss related proposals.

Who is this for?

The main audience for this issue is non-admin users who have permission to edit their own accounts. Such users may or may not have permission to create and edit comments or other content on the site.

Result: what will be the outcome?

We want the user-edit pages to be less confusing and easier to use.

How can we know the desired result is achieved?

Usability testing is the best way to measure, but we can also use feedback.
