🤓 Who can do this? You will need to be an admin user in Atlan to manage system announcements.
Have you ever wanted to notify everyone on the system of something? System announcements allow you to do just that. For example, you could welcome your users when you're first launching Atlan. Or you could use it to warn of planned outages to large parts of your IT landscape.
System announcements appear on the home page of all users, just below the search bar.
