This bug will be trivial to fix if we resolve the "owner_uuid can be a user or a project" design oddity: i.e., change from "home project == user" to "each user has exactly one home/default project". See #6274

About updates in branch 6234-user-edit-self:

• Admin user can now see the "Show" button in /users page and access it

• Also, updated to allow admin user to see other users' home pages
  • Added Home project link in each row of /users page
  • I added the Home project link for root as well as anonymous users. If we hate it very much, I can add logic to suppress these for specific users.

• I didn't do anything about second from last bullet point in description "{workbench}/groups/{user_uuid} will redirect to /projects/{user_uuid} if necessary/convenient (this might not be necessary any more, but it doesn't seem to break anything either, so it's fine to leave it alone)." I noticed that /groups/{user_uuid} does not currently work in production. And, since it does not seem necessary, I did not want to invest the time to address this as part of this exercise.

Per our discussion, it is extremely confusing when you are viewing the home project of (or any project owned by) another user but the "Home" link in the breadcrumbs bar links to your own home project. This is a preexisting bug, but with the ability to visit other user's home projects it is now even more confusing.

This should be addressed, ideally by having the "Home" link in the breadcrumbs change to point to the topmost owner of the project currently being viewed. There are two other links on the page to your own home project so this does not hurt navigation in any way.

Proposed behavior for breadcrumb rendering:

• When looking at your home project or a subproject of your home project, show "Home" at the root of the breadcrumbs
• When looking at another user's home project, put the name (or username or email address) at the root of the breadcrumbs
• When looking at a subproject owned by another user, but we can't read all the way to that user's home project, put the name (or username or email address) at the root of the breadcrumbs with a rendering style to indicate clicking is disabled.
• When looking at the home project for a group, put the name at the root of the breadcrumbs
• When looking at a subproject owned by a group, but we can't read all the way to the group home project, put the name at the root of the breadcrumbs with a rendering style to indicate clicking is disabled.

Moving further discussion of breadcrumbs to #3573.

As evidenced by the discussion since, fixing this bug is a story in its own right, and it's not high enough priority to disrupt the current sprint for. Let's deal with #3573 separately, and leave it out of scope for this story. Thanks.
