"Settings" dashboard position is something odd

[Kwangho Lee]

dashboard "Settings" is hidden in usual condition, but when click "Settings" menu in user icon combo box, "Settings" dashboard is shown.
I think this is something odd.
I'd like to change the way to show the "Settings" as like this:

1. "Settings" dashboard is always shown like other dashboard.
2. Or when click "Settings", not dashboard but popup window is shown.

Additionally, "User Settings" values are NOT dependent on each user, maybe the values are tied with sessions.
So clicking "user icon" and changing "user settings" looks that the values coud be different on each users.

I agree the current design is confusing and inconsistent.

I think a great solution would be your second solution where we could combine both the settings and the change password sections that currently exist. Attached is what I'm thinking the modal could look like.

According to the bug, the “Settings” dashboard is not present at the time of login. But after clicking on the “Settings” option in drop down menu of user, it becomes visible. So to make “Settings” dashboard visibility permanent, this is the proposed solution:
1. "Settings" dashboard is made always visible like the other dashboards.
2. The “Settings” option is removed from the user icon drop down menu.
In /opt/stack/horizon/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/settings/dashboard.py file, we removed the function nav() to remove the condition and make "Settings" dashboard permanent.
In /opt/stack/horizon/openstack_dashboard/templates/_header.html file, we removed the line <li><a href="{% url 'horizon:settings:user:index' %}">{% trans "Settings" %}</a></li> so that "Settings" option is removed from the drop down menu.
