Portal notifications

Abstract

Do not surprise your users! Learn how to add notifications about imminent or planned activities, such as upcoming software updates.

The system administrator can add notifications about imminent or planned activities, such as upcoming software updates. The Portal notifications tile is usually not guarded by any special permissions. The Portal notifications tile needs to share at least one Role with the currently logged-in user, for the Portal notifications panel to be accessed.
