Enhancement: Refreshed User Experience for Governance Groups

Description

:bangbang: We’ve updated the user experience for administrators by bringing Governance Groups in alignment with our modernized design!

We have improved and modernized the user experience for Governance Group administration, including improving usability, modernizing the design, hastening load times, and increasing accessibility. The functionality has not changed - but the user interface has been renovated!

This includes a new Governance Group list:

And new configuration screens:

This functionality can be found under Admin → Identities → Governance Groups.

When is this being rolled out?

Does this UI change now reflect changes to Inactive identity state identities where they will no longer show up in the picklists?

@aaron_andrew
My feedback for the process of adding group members, unfortunately, is negative. I do not yet have a need to automate the creation of Governance Groups so I mostly manage them by hand (or if I have the same set of core ones I use Postman to mass-create then edit).

When adding members to the group, the old UI method let you search for members within that same screen, find them, then simply click Add and boom - done. You could fairly rapidly add multiple people to the group.

The new UI makes you (1) Click Add Members (2) Search for the User, and although you can re-search as much as you like within that screen, you cannot toggle multiple people in the same step (I.e. I cannot search “bob”, select him, then go search “Helen” and additively select her) (3) Then click Add Members and it loads you back to the main screen. You have to do 3 steps to add a person to the group and wait for screen load times on each.

The previous way was much faster: You never left the Group Membership screen, and could rapidly search/select people.

So I’d either vehemently recommend going back to a design similar to the old UI, OR allow me to search/select multiple people in the Search screen then let me finally Add Member when I’ve selected them all. I would think that the latter is how it SHOULD work, and maybe this is a bug?
