Would like to see a bit more functionality on the Users & Sharing settings.

The ability to view the user info (Name, e-mail, alias), shared libraries, as well as some basic stats at a glance (Plays in each Library, Play count in last 7 or 30D, etc.).

I have some users showing as their email address, other users show as just part of their email, Would like to be able to assign an alias to them and have the email address be visible when the user is expanded.

As for the rest… isn’t that information already available on the server dashboard?
