Scheduled maintenance announcement

It would  be great to have a mechanism for announcing scheduled maintenance on the host server. While we do inform users via Teams, people regularly miss these announcements. Waht I would like to see in Clarity:

  • Inputs for a message/announcement, a timespan for the maintenance window and a timespan for the announcement
  • The message announcement/message being displayed at the top of *all* pages (including the login screen) during the announcement period (we currently use the Appearance fields in the Settings menu for this).
  • Only admin logins possible during the maintenance period

In 2026, a Login Dialog Message can be used for this type of announcement.  The users would see the message each time they try to login.  Your suggestions could complement this nicely.

Some Feedback to share regarding the Login Dialog Message. I turned this on with a message shown to users when they go to the login page. Left it about 2 weeks and asked my team about it - not 1 of them had noticed the message :-D

Another minor addition that would be nice to have is the ability for sys admins to log out all  other users
