Login Banner
------------


.. _12.5(1)|VOSSUC-20692:
.. _18.1.3|VOSSUC-20692:


A banner, typically a security notice or user agreement, can be configured at a hierarchy
level to show on the Administrator and Self-Service login page before login.

High level administrators who have access to the 
``data/LoginBanner`` model can configure the banner. A banner
can be created so that:

* Only one instance is allowed per hierarchy

If an administrator or  Self-Service user logs in and belongs to a hierarchy
for which there is no defined login banner, the first banner higher up on the
hierarchy is displayed. If no banners are configured, then the user logs in without
a banner.

The banner text is displayed in the format that it is entered into
the input box upon configuration. 

When the banner is configured, users will see the banner displayed 
on the login page after they enter their credentials and when they 
click the **Login** button. An **Agree** and **Cancel** button is 
shown beneath the banner. Users then need to click the **Agree** 
button to complete the login. If they click **Cancel**, they 
are returned to the login page.

.. note::
   This banner is independent of the text on the login screen
   that may contain a privacy policy reference.
   The privacy policy text and reference on the login
   page is configured as a part of the Login Page Details when
   managing a theme - see :ref:`set_the_login_page_theme`.
