Stop changing the Power User Profiles monthly and change something that needs it!

It appears that every time there is a system update, the management of User Profile menus changes. This is infuriating. The latest version is particularly frustrating, requiring significantly more clicking than previous iterations. I would rather see a dashboard look of all the options, rather than each item being in its own pull-down menu. This is NOT an improvement nor is it time-saving.

 

There are other areas of the platform that need attention rather than simply changing the interface for this area repeatedly, to no benefit.

Hi @TrishAH 

Thanks for the feedback, we’re going to move this to a discussion category since it can’t really be actioned specifically as an idea/feature. 

For the power user management page(s), these underwent a large update mid last year where we added these capabilities:

  • Ability to mass assign resources to multiple power users
  • Ability to mass assign profiles to power users
  • Ability to promote or demote a user to/from a power user from within the power user management area
  • Improved search, sort, filtering, and column visualization capabilities
  • Ability to assign multiple power user profiles to a power user
  • Permissions preview at the power user and power user profile levels
  • General UI overhaul and move to Microservice and graphql frameworks

I don’t believe we made any significant changes to the area since that effort but its quite possible we implemented some UI or component tweaks since then either in response to defects or changes in our component library or similar. 

 

Our general goal when updating the power user management area was to facilitate more mass action capabilities related to assignment of profiles and resources, as we understood based on feedback that these tasks could require a good bit of time from admins under the old design. For Profile management, we wanted to offer multiple profiles per power user to save admins having to create a profile for every permutation of permissions that they required for an individual, and rather “stack” more basic/common/extensible profiles together. In our study, we found that profiles were fairly static, especially under this new capability/assumption, so we did not place a particular emphasis on saving time in those areas, which I think is what your feedback is referencing specifically, but we can always improve :slight_smile:
