4.12 Announcement Feature

ZTrust’s Announcement feature lets administrators deliver application-specific updates, keeping users informed with the right message at the right time.

ZTrust comes with a built-in Announcement feature that allows administrators to broadcast important updates or information directly to users of specific applications. Announcements can be configured at the client level, ensuring that only the relevant users receive them.

For example, if a realm contains 10 applications, administrators can choose to publish announcements for only 2 applications, each with its own tailored message. This provides a centralized and reliable way to share critical changes, system updates, policy modifications, or general notifications in real time—without relying on external communication channels.

By enabling application-specific announcements, ZTrust ensures that users stay informed with the right information at the right time, while giving administrators fine-grained control over communication.

Configuring the Announcement Feature:

1. Log in to the ZTrust Admin Console.
