#2966 closed enhancement (fixed)
Add user account edit support to "Manage User Accounts" page (without extending user details)

Description
This plugin is one of the reasons I'm using Trac instead of some other solution.
The plugin lets the administrator add new users and specify email addresses, but only the user can update his or her email address. It would be great if the administrator could also edit email addresses (and name and password). They can be changed now if the account is deleted and recreated, but that's a bit more of a hassle.

Great. BTW, I feel the same, and this was the main reason for taking over maintainership to improve the bad support for it.

Clearly meanwhile there has been some improvements, since it's possible now to set a (new) password for any user via the account admin page.

Yes, it's there:
UserManagerPlugin explicitly states, that it is build on top of AccountManagerPlugin to provide this functionality. So I don't see the need to to the same or similar thing within AccountManagerPlugin itself, with one exception: I'll see, if it is feasible to add administrative account details edit support AccountManagerPlugin without extending the set of user data as much as UserManagerPlugin does.
Anyway thanks for the strong interest in AccountManagerPlugin shown here.

#8710 has been closed as a duplicate of this ticket. This is obviously a requested feature.

Historically there have been two separate forms, one for user creation and another one dedicated to changing/resetting a users password. This was flawed for long, because password change attempts on non-existing users created them silently bypassing all the checks normally enforced on user creation.
Now let's have just one form to rule them all. ;-) Enjoy.

I'm quite eager to learn about your usage experience with the new property editor side-panel. Let me know, if it's good enough for integration into the next AcctMgr (0.3) release, please.

(In [10393]) AccountManagerPlugin: Releasing version 0.3, pushing development to 0.4.
This new feature release finally propagates a number of solutions into an
official release, after some time of testing with trunk
, so explicitely
closes #442, #816, #2966, #3989, #4160, #6821, #7111, #8534, #8549, #8663,
#8813, #8892, #8925, #8936 and #8939.
Should have made this months ago, but felt so many pending issues were too
bad for a new release. But it has been a tremendous ticket burndown since
last year, so it's really worth considering an upgrade now.
See fresh changelog
for details.

Judging from implicit feedback by requests about the way to do account changes with AccountManager I deduce, that the all-in-one approach actually doesn't work at least for some people. While its powerful, it is not as intuitive on first sight. As the designer I can handle it just fine, sure. But hands down, the KISS principle of doing things is the ultimate goal for every component of Trac. My point of view. So try what I came up with as a conclusion, please.

(In [13053]) AccountManagerPlugin: Improve the account properties editor, refs #2966.
Move account edit functionality into account details page for consistency. Editing users now works like editing ticket priorities, types etc., and the account property editor is looking clearer, modular and more self-explaining.
A focus has been on performance and simplification too, so please note visible and code changes like
- username becoming part of the admin page URL for distinct user's properties just like Trac core does for managing resources and enums
- replacement of an iteration over
self.env.get_known_users()
with a straight query on one user's attributes - cleaned
_do_acct_details
method and admin panel templates

Make sure to check for following related changes before/on next release, because I still have some more ideas for this part of the web-UI.
Looking for an opportunity to admin accounts I found this ticket. I'm very interested in the progress of this enhancement so I have added my eMail.
