About
The Adminannouncement module allows administrators to add an announcement alert banner for all end users. The sections herein will guide you through enabling and configuring the Adminannouncement module.
This module is for both Content Hubs and legacy Video Portal users.

When the closeAnnouncement feature is enabled in the module’s configuration, it uses a cookie to track when a user dismisses an announcement. The cookie is named adminannouncement_dismissed_[announcement-md5-hash] (where [announcement-md5-hash] is a hash of the announcement text). The value is always 1 and the cookie is cleared when the user logs in or out of Content Hubs or legacy Video Portal.
