Added documentation for the new capability introduced in Mattermost v11.1.1 that allows system administrators to view and update users' custom profile attribute values directly from the System Console.

Changes:

  • Added new "Manage user attributes" section to user-management-configuration-settings.rst
  • Enhanced user-attributes.rst with cross-reference to System Console capability
  • Documented the navigation path: System Console > Users > User Configuration
  • Clarified role and permission requirements for this functionality
  • Ensured proper cross-referencing between related documentation

Closes ##8595

Hiya @Combs7th :)

I think we need to change "custom profile attributes" to "user attributes" or "profile attributes"? Thoughts @cwarnermm ?

The feature used to be called "Custom Profile Attributes" and was changed to "User Attributes" to integrate with the Attribute Based Access feature

Thanks, @lindy65! I've updated terminology from Custom Profile Attributes to User Attributes based on your feedback. I also updated additional references to CPA across the docs set. Please review and let me know if there's any concerns. Note that I've left changelog entries as-is to preserve historical records.
