Issue:
Document "Manage this user" profile link
Administrators now see a "Manage this user" link at the bottom of the user profile modal, which will often be handier than getting to the user management UI through the settings.

We should probably document this link as the primary way to perform certain actions, with the settings approach being an alternative.

Affected pages I'm aware of:

Document user management via profile
In #20373, we added the ability to:

1. Manage a user from their profile
2. Deactivate a user from the "manage user" modal

We should document this in the Help center. In particular, we should indicate that user management actions (e.g. Change a user's name, etc.) can be done from either the gear menu, or from their profile. (Maybe we can do this by using tabs in the instructions.)

For deactivating a user, I think the button inside the modal only needs to be described for the approach where you start from the profile.

Perhaps tabs would work well for this? I don't know if it's the best way, but we use it here: https://zulip.com/help/reading-strategies#reading-topics

Yeah, since we know a minimum of 3 articles would use them, I can see using tabs being better in this case. Let me make a first draft that way and we can iterate from there.
Also, just checking, but this issue seems to be the same as #21318 (or at least overlap with it), right?

@laurynmm it would be great if you could add this to your todo list. Not super urgent, but we should take care of it to make sure the new functionality is documented.
