Central Manager administrators and regional server "super" administrators have the
ability to display an informational banner when users log into NSM. This banner is created
using custom text that is stored on the server. Once it has been created, the banner is
displayed as a splash screen after users enter their login credentials. This text is used
server-wide, which does not depend on user, role, domain, and so on. Users are unable
to proceed into the NSM UI until they accept the message to continue. If this banner is
used, users are required to accept the message each time they log in.
You can add an information banner from Central Manager or from a regional server.
This procedure assumes that a Central Manager administrator is logged onto a Central
Manager client or a super user is logged into a regional server.
