Web UI Improvements
Just some random thoughts/notes after making an effort to use the web UI:
- no confirmation to delete user - just deletes
- when user changes are made, you can't see the response (green banner) until you scroll up on FHD panel (not so bad on high-res 4K panel) - banner should float or there should be some sort of other obvious confirmation that something happened - this applies to the entire ui.
- users tab - would be nice to see authentication method (password, keys, cert., etc) as a column similar to anon, simple, logins, etc.
- users tab - "new user" button/drop down on the right - "new user" or "add user"should also show up in the drop down - isn't clear that you click new user with the gear - kind of an odd ui detail.
- setting up the root directory is entirely too complicated and unintuitive with the web ui - frankly, it just needs to be massively simplified - just copy someone that does it well - even mimic the windows file explorer window - in my humble opinion, it is unusable unless you figure it out and then work with it on a daily basis so you don't forget
- can only sort by name or group (would want to sort by auth type or s.control, s.data, etc.)
- clicking on the user silhouette at the top right should tell me the user that is logged in (details like this are important - look at other ui's and websites and copy them)l
- unclear on how to update the software from the webui (fat client you click update right on the main page - perhaps this feature isn't available yet)

Hi Nick,
Just wanted to let you know that we've implemented several of these suggestions in 11.0.
Most of the rest are planned.
