Why grant this permission?

Happeo admins can grant branding permissions to users, empowering them to manage the visual identity of their intranet. Previously, only platform admins had access to branding settings.

Who can have branding permission?

Happeo admins have branding permission by default and can grant it to regular users. When granted, regular users gain access to the 'Branding' section within the Admin Settings (accessible by clicking their avatar in Happeo's main navigation). This allows them to manage and customize the platform's branding:

• Colors & Logos
• Custom URL
• Login Page
• Email Branding
• Fonts & Styles
• Custom Emojis
• Mobile App
• Pages 2.0 (coming soon)

Note: Granting branding permission will not allow users to access other admin settings, such as billing, user management, search, etc. They will only have access to the Branding section.
