Description

At the top, there are two links, one on the username, going to the profile page of the currently logged in user and "My Account" for changing settings. But for all it's worth, I can't remember which one's which.

So I propose to

  1. unify the "My Account" page and the users/123/edit page, and
  2. merge those two top-links into one, by using a tab-bar even for non-admins, subsequently getting rid of /my/account. Alternatively, all information from the users page should be visible in My Account if the unique URL should be presevered.

I think this is a good idea. I was trying to do this back in Redmine by moving some of the notification preferences into the user/edit page but I never finished the merge.

The one thing we should watch for is the change password. I want to make sure that:

  • admins can change the password without knowing the current password
  • normal users must supply their current password to change it
  • Category set to User accounts
