(Accessibility) User Management - Create User Input Assistance

[barlowm]

Steps to reproduce (assumes NVDA or JAWS Screen Reader or similar)

NVDA Screen Reader is a free Screen Reader which can be downloaded from the NV Access Website.

Deque has a page of shortcuts for help on using NVDA as well as a Quick Reference Guide for using NVDA

Steps to reproduce

1. Log in to Kibana
2. Using keyboard only, navigate to the Management / Security / Users page
3. Click Create new user

Actual Result
There are no instructions to the user indicating which fields are required or that the password is 6 char minimum.

Error messages are properly displayed if the input fields are not valid, but only once the user clicks the "Create user" to save the new entries
When using NVDA Screen Reader, NVDA does not automatically report that there is an error (NVDA does not read the "Please address the errors in your form" to the user, nor does it report which fields are in error unless the user moves the cursor around.

<div class="euiCallOut euiCallOut--danger euiForm__errors">
    <div class="euiCallOutHeader">
        <span class="euiCallOutHeader__title">
            Please address the errors in your form.
        </span>
    </div>
</div>

The error message does not have a role=alert or an aria-live:assertive

Recommended correction

<div role="alert" aria-live="assertive" 
        class="euiCallOut euiCallOut--danger euiForm__errors">
    <div class="euiCallOutHeader">
        <span class="euiCallOutHeader__title">
            Please address the errors in your form.
        </span>
    </div>
</div>

I think it needs to be fixed in the elastic/eui repo: elastic/eui#4238

[afharo]

Closing this issue as it is fixed in elastic/eui#4238

Changes will be applied to Kibana on the bi-weekly EUI update
