[Bug 1956387] Re: Confusing UI updating member accounts when masquarading as institution admin

 

** Description changed:

- Discovered when logged in as catadmin on myportfolio.school.nz:
- 
  Steps to reproduce:
  - Create a new institution with some members
  - Give one of those members the role of Institution Admin
  - Masquerade as that Institution Admin
  - Change the username of another member of the institution
-   - Here, the page expects the 'Save Changes' button to be clicked in order to update the username
-   - However, as I want to make further changes at an Institution level, I don't click save, I open the drop-down box to make further changes

  - I then click "Update"
  
  Expected outcome:
-  - All changes made on the page are saved

  Actual outcome:
-  - Alert pops up saying "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave — information you’ve entered may not be saved." - with options to 'Stay on page' or 'Leave page'
-  - I clicked stay on page, then "Update" again, with the same outcome. So I tried leaving the page.

  Without knowing that I needed to press both "Save Changes" AND "Update",
  it created the impression that I wasn't able to update the account
  details. I was confused as to why the account holder had been made a
  staff member, but their username hadn't changed.
  
  Recommendation:
-  - One submit button for the whole page
