That's right.

That was Hylke's (who drew the mockup) intention, as far as I'm aware.

There are undoubtedly cases where one person has more than one set of
account details for the same service, or where several people use the
same local user account. Whether it is a good idea for the control
center to cater to those use cases is another question, however.

This has been discussed a little on the #gnome-design channel, though I
can't remember the specifics...

Best,

Allan
