Replace Calypso "Users" with the WordPress WP-Admin "Users" view

[ramonjd]

Important

Project thread: pdgR5j-18N-p2

The goal of this project is to replace the Calypso Users page with a UI that resembles the WP-Admin Users experience as closely as possible.

See pekYwv-4PY-p2 for project overview and pfYzsZ-1o5-p2 for development checklist.

Update: I've added the PT link to the issue description and labelled as Overview, signifying this needs a full-fledged project. 🙂

Thanks. What do you mean by "project" here? A Github project board?

Thanks. What do you mean by "project" here? A Github project board?

@ramonjd Meaning that's larger that a couple of PRs, or, like, longer than 1-2 weeks of work. Typically (like in this case), it has a project thread, proper reporting, discussions and collaboration happening, etc.

In the CtD board specifically, the [Type] Overview label is used for filtering: https://github.com/orgs/Automattic/projects/1117/views/18.

This said, if the project needs a GH board, or the project lead wants it, there is nothing against it. 🙂

February 5 Update

The team is temporarily understaffed and working on several projects. For now, we have compared Calypso and wp-admin (pdgR5j-199-p2) and identified a significant discrepancy with Viewer users between Simple and Atomic (#99245).

I've added this issue #98031 as a subtask, because they're related.
