** Description changed: For administrators, it would be nice to be able post a system message that would be visible on the home page and logged in-home until removed by the administrator. Although technically this could be done by editing the site page, editing the site page would not allow targetted messages. The best scenario would be the ability to control who sees the message and when, much like the current controls for view access. With the added option of institution as well as groups. Institution admins should only be allowed to publish a message to institution members and groups. Consider having a message type: [urgent] [info] ** This should not be viewed as news/bulletin board. It would be for things like planned system down time. That said, a news / bulletin board for the home page is a good idea, but separate feature ;-) - - This bug was imported from eduforge.org, see: - https://eduforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3071&group_id=176&atid=742
