Add Admin Notes Feature for Users in WordPress Dashboard

[samahjoob12]

Dear WordPress Core Team,

I would like to propose an enhancement to the WordPress user management system by introducing an Admin Notes feature for users in the dashboard. Currently, there is no built-in way for administrators to store and manage private notes about users. Many website administrators rely on third-party plugins or external tools to keep track of user-related information, which can be inefficient and fragmented.

Proposed Functionality:
Admin Notes Section: A new meta field in the user profile where administrators can add and view private notes.

Permissions: Only users with administrator privileges should be able to view and manage these notes.

Editing & Deletion: The ability to edit, update, and delete notes as needed.

Timestamp & Author Tracking: Optionally, each note can include a timestamp and the admin user who created it.

Search & Filter Integration: Admins should be able to search for users based on keywords in their notes.

Optional: Notes History: A log of previous notes to track changes over time.

Use Cases:
Membership Sites: Admins can store internal notes about user behavior, support history, or membership status.

E-Commerce (WooCommerce): Store notes regarding a customer's purchase history, disputes, or VIP status.

Multi-Author Blogs: Editors can leave internal feedback about contributors.

Educational Platforms: Notes about student progress or issues can be recorded for better tracking.

Why This Should Be in Core:
Enhances User Management: Provides a built-in way to store relevant information about users without needing third-party plugins.

Improves Administrative Efficiency: Reduces reliance on external spreadsheets or disconnected tools.

Better Collaboration: Multiple admins can keep track of internal user notes across different roles.

I believe this feature would greatly benefit the WordPress community and improve the overall user management experience. Thank you for considering this enhancement request.

Best regards,
Seyyed Ahmadreza Mahjoob
