The System Maintenance module is used to configure priority notifications prior to a maintenance window and restrict system usage to members of Site Administrators only during upgrades.

This module functions outside the realm of the normal permissions hierarchy. It can be viewed only by a user with membership in Site Administrators site-level roles with no regard to permissions assigned to the tab on which the module is placed. For more information on the roles referenced in this section please see the role based security topic. Administrative users can configure additional module settings by clicking the button.

The administrative user can configure the following attributes:

•Notification Message: When present this message is displayed in a red bar at the top of the screen and visible to all users on the system and cannot be dismissed.

•Maintenance Message: When present this message is also displayed in a red bar at the top of the screen and visible to all users on the system and cannot be dismissed. In addition to displaying the message it also prevents the system from rendering content to any users other than Site Administrators.
