Web user interface. Add new item and list of items

Hello all

I need your opinion on the following question. It's need to implement the administration web interface to add\change\remove\display system users. I need to display all users and controls for user adding/changing. What is the common pattern in web for this situation: create one page or create two separate pages for displaying and adding/changing users?

Thanks, sorry for some possible oddness (:

Just have a look at common desktop applications, like a file manager. Usually you see a list of files and a (toolbar) button to create a new one, that opens a dialog panel if necessary, in which you can enter basic properties to start with.

Yes, in desctop application it is the common way to implement such functionality. But what about web?... =)

@w1z: Why should web applications differ from desktop apps? Just try to implement common conventions everywhere, so users will have the least difficulty to get accustomed to new applications.

I like to have a view page that has the list of users, with the most common properties. Each user will have an view link, which will bring you to a page that displays the complete set of user properties, and will also allow you to edit the user on this page.

I always thought as well, but now I began to have doubts :))
