Maintenance

Zammad comes with a maintenance mode that you can use for e.g. updating the instance or changing settings while restricting availability and functions.

Mode

The mode setting allows you to enable or disable the maintenance mode.

Defaults to off.

The maintenance mode will restrict access to administrative roles only. This means agents and customers are logged off.

@Login

This setting allows you to provide a login message within a green banner above the login screen. Click into the green banner in the settings page to adjust your message. To activate the message, activate the @Login setting.

Message

Send an informative message to all active sessions. This comes handy to inform your agents e.g. about mayor outages or to force reloads after configuration changes.

Title

This is the messages title (slightly bigger than the normal message).

Message

The text you want to provide to your logged in sessions.

Reload application

Selecting this option will change the message acceptance button from Close (with nothing happening) to Continue session, which forces the application to reload.

Warning

If you have customers that are logged in to Zammad, they’ll also be notified if they’re active in that moment.
