Split up Admin page into groups #712
Description
We want to have the huge admin page split up in groups.
Goals:
- avoid to have a single huge, long page
- group different settings reasonable (e.g. everything related to sharing & federation)
- make sure specific settings have full pages (like Log, LDAP etc)
- avoid very small setting pages by another group "Additional settings"
Long term considerations:
- integrate personal settings
Solution:
- anything that has an admin settings page will register a Controller. A group¹ parameter is required.
- legacy support: group apps that do not register a controller into "Additional Settings"
- downside: we need to adjust as many apps as possible and provide developer documentation quickly
¹also requires a way to register groups. Probably another controller to register new groups and have "core" groups pre-defined (sharing, logging, background jobs, …)

Good summary. I only adjusted details (added federation, Logs and LDAP as specific examples).
And just for reference, the original oC issue is at owncloud/core#24188

Maybe we could also integrate @icewind1991's logreader (https://github.com/icewind1991/logreader) as the default one into its own page. Now we would have space for it 😉 What do you think?

@Mar1u5 this crossed my mind when I looked into the Logging section today. I would find it useful, however this would be out of scope of this issue (and the PR #796 is already huge).

Once #796 is done I'll adjust the logreader to register itself in the admin page, we can then look into shipping it on default
