Actually, the "New user" button becomes an option in the "Options" drop-down and can be accessed from there (as specified here https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/pull/13808). And yes, I did warn @nucleogenesis that some users mind find this confusing. :) We do have a follow-up for usability issues here: https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/issues/13843 but I'm not seeing that specifically mentioned there so perhaps it should be added, unless it's tracked somewhere else.

I think hiding it inside a dropdown reduces discoverability, and can mislead users into thinking the functionality has been removed.

@marcellamaki @nucleogenesis I also think primary actions should remain visible and accessible, especially when we are representing core tasks. If our ggoal here is UI simplification, I believe there are other ways to reduce clutter without hiding key features. Keeping “New User” visible just lower cognitive load.

Hi! I would like to work on this issue. Could you please assign it to me?

I have understood the problem: on smaller screen sizes, the NEW USER button becomes hidden inside the options dropdown, reducing discoverability. I can implement a responsive fix so the button stays visible while maintaining clean UI.

Let me know if I can proceed!

@AllanOXDi you make a great point about the primary action needing to remain visible. I think that we decided on this trade-off simply to make the rest of the filters/search/etc fit and work but that you reported it as a bug after Peter mentioned it previously, it'll be good to reconsider that choice.

For next actions on this I think we'd need some design inputs on what we could do to simplify this section.

My best idea is to have two KIconButtons in place of the dropdown like (🧑‍🦲+ [Add new user]) (🍔 [Options]) so the user one is blue, primary and the options is gray, secondary. I'd really love to hear any suggestions from @tomiwaoLE or @jtamiace as well - bearing in mind that this fix would target a patch release, so we wouldn't add new strings or look to make any major changes, mostly just want to mitigate potential confusion as noted by Allan & Peter.

In any case - this issue seems like something we'll want to address - especially if we get any feedback from the UserTesting that confirms the concern!
