Setting Notice and Consent messages for platform users

Platform administrators can configure a system message to appear for each user in an organization when logging in. This system message is used to display Notice & Consent text which notifies users about data collection and use policies. Each user in that organization must acknowledge the text when logging into the Blue Cedar Platform, that is, after successfully entering username and password, the message appears, the user clicks OK, and then the user is logged into the platform. (This message appears only when logging into the platform as an organization user who might manage apps, view reports, and so on, and does not apply for mobile app users.)

Setting the default for the platform

PLATFORM ADMINISTRATOR ONLY

As a platform administrator, you can create a default message for all organizations and choose whether to require the message to appear or not:

1. Make sure that Platform is the selected organization in the menu in the top left. 
2. Choose Settings in the Admin section of the main menu on the left.
3. Click on Notice & Consent.

On the Admin Settings / Notice & Consent screen, you can set the default notice and consent message:

• Do not require (default): No notice text appears for users. When they successfully enter username and password, the platform home screen appears. When this option is selected, you can view but not edit the default text.
• Always require: All users in every organization on the platform must acknowledge the text when logging in. (Unless the organization has an override.) When this option is chosen, you can enter or edit the default Notice & Consent text. An asterisk next to the Admin Settings heading indicates unsaved changes.

When you are finished, click Save Changes.

Overriding the default notice and consent

As a platform administrator, you can override the default settings for a single organization.

2. Choose Organizations in the Admin section of the main menu on the left, and choose the organization in the organization list.
3. On the Organizations / Organization Name screen, choose Notice & Consent.
4. The Organizations / Organization Name screen gives you the option to override the default settings as configured above. Select Use custom settings:
   • Do not require (default): No notice text appears for users. When they successfully enter username and password, the platform home screen appears. When this option is selected, you can view but not edit the default text.
   • Always require: All users in this organization must acknowledge the text when logging in. When this option is chosen, you can enter or edit the default Notice & Consent text.
