Umbraco Current User Action

What is it?

Current User Actions appear in the user menu (accessed by clicking the user avatar in the top-right corner of the backoffice). They provide quick actions for the currently logged-in user, such as profile settings, preferences, or custom functionality. Actions can execute code or navigate to a URL.
