+Usermenu registry
+-----------------
+
+The user menu registry (category: `user_menuitems`) contains all menu items that
+are shown when opening the user menu (the navbar element with the user name, on
+the top right).
+
+User menu items are defined by a function taking the :ref:`env <javascript/environment>`
+and returning a plain object, containing the following information:
+
+* `description` : the menu item text,
+* `href` : (optional) if given (and truthy), the item text is put in a `a` tag with given attribute href,
+* `callback` : callback to call when the item is selected,
+* `hide`: (optional) indicates if the item should be hidden (default: `false`),
+* `sequence`: (optional) determines the rank of the item among the other dropwdown items (default: 100).
+
+The user menu calls all the functions defining items every time it is opened.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+    import { registry } from "@web/core/registry";
+
+    registry.category("user_menuitems").add("my item", (env) => {
+        return {
+            description: env._t("Technical Settings"),
+            callback: () => { env.services.action_manager.doAction(3); };
+            hide: (Math.random() < 0.5),
+        };
