Description

Dataverse currently offers a "Manage Users" page within its super-user admin dashboard (via dashboard-users.xhtml):

One commonly wished-for feature is the ability to create local users graphically, for two reasons:

  1. Not all archivists are comfortable using the API
  2. Not all administrators relish exposing user creation via an externally-accessible API endpoint.

A row of input fields at the bottom of the user management page alongside a "Create User" button would be a welcome addition, particularly to less-technical archivists.

Research direction

Start with the Manage Users page in dashboard-users.xhtml and inspect how the existing page displays users and connects to user-management operations. Add a graphical path for creating local users, then verify that a newly created user appears in the management view and that the relevant validation or error states are handled.
