Unify Account and Administration menus into a single menu
Table of Contents
This page is a capture in the inbox bucket of the product backlog — a pre-sprint idea, not yet pulled into a sprint as a story.
What
The Qt System menu currently has two separate submenus — Account and
Administration — whose split is not intuitive. Account-related
functionality is spread across both and it is not obvious to a user
which submenu to reach for. The menus should be consolidated into a
single, clearly named menu (e.g. Accounts, Identity, Users, or
similar). Before deciding on the name and structure, investigate how
comparable desktop applications (financial workstations, ERP systems,
admin tooling) label and group this kind of functionality.
Why
Users have found the dual-menu layout confusing. A single well-named menu reduces cognitive overhead and is consistent with how most applications handle account/user management. The rename and reorganisation should be driven by precedent from comparable systems, not guesswork.
