Eng: Update parent level group creation page making it clear the user is creating a totally new account in GitLab
Problem
GitLab currently makes it extremely easy to make a net new parent group within GitLab which operates as an entirely separate account. While this is likely valuable to some users we believe that it is not likely understood by many users and incorrectly leads them to creating separate accounts when they meant to create additional subgroups within their initial parent group. This is supported by customer feedback &7662 and customer conversion data &7662
Solution
Update the design to the parent-level group creation page to make it clear what the user is about to create. We'll use a notification at the top of the parent-level group creation page to educate the user about what paths they have at their disposal.
Primary CTA: "Learn more about subgroups" Dismiss: clicks "X" in the upper right hand corner of the notification
Old Designs: If a user tries to create a new top-level group we show them an info alert with the content as specified in the design:
(#354533[Top-level-groups-MVC.jpg])
Specifics
- We always show the alert for top-level group creation, the alert is dismissible and won't be shown again once dismissed
- The alert does not show for the sub-group creation page
