Administrators can configure an announcement banner to display pertinent information on all JIRA pages. The banner can be used to relate important information (e.g. scheduled server maintenance, approaching project deadlines, etc.) to all users. Further, the banner visibility level can be configured to display to all users or just logged-in users.

The banner can be configured to contain HTML text.

Configure Announcement Banner

  1. Navigate to the JIRA Administration section.
  2. Select the Announcement Banner under the Options & Settings sub-menu.
  3. Enter the required text in the Announcement field.
  4. Select the required visibility level for the banner.
  5. Click Set Banner.

Depending on the visibilty level selected, the banner will become visible throughout JIRA.

Banner Visibility Mode

The announcement banner visibility level can be configured to specify to whom the banner will be displayed. There are two modes:

  • Public — the banner is visible to everyone
  • Private — the banner is visible to logged-in users only
