Banners

Palette VerteX allows you to add banners, also known as Authority to Operate (ATO) banners, to your VerteX instance. There are two types of banners:

  • Login banner - Displays important information to users before they log in to the system console or an individual tenant. These messages are similar to popups that must be acknowledged before logging in. Login banners configured in the system console override tenant-specific login banners.

  • Classification banner - Displays the type of environment the tenant is working in, such as CLASSIFIED or TOP SECRET. Classification banners can also be treated as "message-of-the-day" banners, used to convey important information across all system console and tenant screens, including login screens. Classification banners cascade to all tenants and cannot be dismissed.

Prerequisites​

  • Access to the VerteX system console.

  • System administrator permissions, either a Root Administrator or Operations Administrator. Refer to the System Administrators page to learn more about system administrator roles.
