Show user information on space selector screen

[legrego]

Once the circular dependency between Spaces and Security is resolved (#81891), we will be able to have the security plugin augment the Space Selector UI to include user information.

This is beneficial because we can allow users to logout if they realize they've chosen the wrong account.

I wonder if we should aim to show the black Elastic navbar on the space selector screen? What's that called, the Global Nav Bar?

@elastic/kibana-design this is not at all a priority for us right now, but if someone wants a fun side-quest, I'd happily accept a wireframe/mockup for this. Or reply with a simple "yes show the global nav bar" 🙂

Or Option C, wherein I ask clarifying questions 😄

My initial reaction is "Yeah ok, we are using the black bar everywhere."
Then, my questions are, for this particular case

• Is the strictly to offer a log out link?
• Where would the home/logo button take the user?
• We wouldn't have any other items like search, support, What's new, etc. right?

Even without all that, a black header bar may still work (it might just have a Logout button on the right end). Otherwise, we might just find a spot for a simple log out button without adding a black header bar.

The primary motivation is to show a logout link, but it'd also be good to show the user's avatar/info, just to reinforce the fact that they authenticated as a specific user, and that they are in fact logged in.

Ok, I see. To my knowledge, we haven't displayed only the black bar, so we might consider showing the white bar as well even if it has but one breadcrumb. Additionally, we might make this look more like a standard page (i.e. not have the background graphics).

In short, give it a go with the stacked header (both bars) with the minimal content. We can help with tidying things up once you have a PR.

As a visual example, we'll probably end up with something that looks like the Enterprise Search overview page sans the graphic under the header and the extra header features (search, support, etc.):

My very quick hack job via the Inspector to remove some stuff:

Thanks @ryankeairns, much appreciated! In the stacked header example, we wouldn't have the Space avatar in the white bar either, since the user hasn't technically entered a space yet

Closing this in favor of the redesigned space selector that we are planning on implementing.
