Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: user.module Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Steven Reported by: Steven Updated by: Steven Status: patch Another possibility for the third tab is "registration". I that case, we could move the account registration settings (registration allows, with or without approval, etc) there too (they are currently still placed in administer - users - configure, but there are no other subtabs anymore there). However, the registration settings do contain more than just control, there's also stuff like the welcome text and avatar settings. So the old page would probably still remain there, with some settings moved to the new location, which sounds like a bad idea.

These 4 items are buried too deep and are thus hard to find. I also think that roles/permissions/access rules are not really related to the users (i.e. the people) but more with the accounts that are linked to them. Most things are described by this illustration with Kika-style notes ;) http://acko.net/dumpx/clean-up-admin-users.png This patch also fixes a couple of small things, like adding drupal_gotos or improving the contextual help a bit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 27, 2005 - 04:54 : Steven Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/clean-up-admin-users_0.patch (20.02 KB) Sorry, I forgot some paths in profile.module. Better patch attached. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 27, 2005 - 04:58 : Boris Mann Looks good, Steven. Can we call "access rules" something else? The "long" description is that they are username and email filters. What is a short name that better indicates this? Maybe: * user filters (might imply sorting users) * account filters (username + email is always required -- I like this one the best) * account rules (this one is OK too) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 27, 2005 - 05:19 : Steven I like "account rules", but it's in fact longer than "access rules". But it's clearer and they do only apply to accounts on registration, not on the access when using an account. -- View: http://drupal.org/node/16271 Edit: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/16271
