[Design] [Cosmo] Login-related workflows update

[Mimi Yin]

Priscilla, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the thinking behind  
providing access to the home directory UI through settings is that an  
advanced and technical Casual Collaborator would be comfortable  
manipulating the contents of their account (e.g. adding and revoking  
tickets, adding and removing collections) through the home directory  
browser UI.

bcm, what is your particular objection to providing access to the  
admin/home dir from the login page? It seems like if we can agree  
that there will be minimal overlap between home dir users and Casual  
Collaborators, providing access to the home dir from the login page  
would streamline the workflow for the home dir users and de-clutter  
the calendar/dashboard UI for the Casual Collaborators.

I think we can all agree on this.
