Hi, it's not customized globally in the current pull request? I was expecting this to be an admin-only feature that would then apply to all users. This is the feature that I see requested by users.
Being able to customize one's view of the user directory isn't asked for that much. It might actually annoy admins, who expect the user directory to display a given set of columns and then have to troubleshoot their users. Last but not least, the current interface isn't simple enough for someone non-technical to use. Thus I'd rather make this feature admin-only and make it apply globally. WDYT?
