Problem to solve

Currently, whenever GitLab ships a feature behind a feature flag, users must go through some hurdles in order to enable them.

Further details

When users wish to enable a feature flag, they have to:

• execute a command in the console
• know the name of the feature flag in order to enable

This is problematic for the following reasons:

• users are not likely to know the name of the feature flag
• feature flag names are not always documented
• users may not have access to the console in order to execute the command

Proposal

Provide a control panel where "experimental" features (those behind a feature flag) can be enabled or disabled, easily, from the GitLab GUI.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

(If no way to measure success, link to an issue that will implement a way to measure this)
