[QA] user settings UI misses control over default app

[jnweiger]

Seen while testing #39600 on core 10.11.0-rc.1

• A defaultapp is what users see, when they log in. Normally it is files.
• Admin can set the defaultapp in config.php -- normall used to switch between "clasic UI" files and "new UI" web.
• With PR Add default app setting on a user basis #39600 users can override this admin setting, and choose their personal default.

This is documented to work via occ commands like e.g.

• occ user:setting bob core defaultapp --value=activity
• occ user:setting carol core defaultapp --value=web

The user settings UI does not display a users's default app setting, and does not allow to change it.

Expected behavior:

• The default app should be changable User Settings -> General or User Settings -> Additional

There is some discussion about adding a user interface in the PR, but it went off-topic as far as I can tell.

Not sure, if web allows to switch the default app on a user base. web is currently blocked by owncloud/web#5933 (comment)

I thought that this was already discussed somewhere - this "back-end" option is available on an individual user basis, but an administrator has to set it up. For example, the administrator might set the default app to "xyz" for some subset of the users on the system. And access to this option is not currently being made available in the classic web UI front-end.

@pmaier1 - where did this get discussed/what are the requirements?

where did this get discussed/what are the requirements?

Basically this owncloud/web#6173 (comment). But I see the Web PR is not merged.

Needs checking that the functionality is available on both ends, ownCloud Web and the oC 10 frontend / files app. cc @kulmann
