Expected Results​

Users who are part of the selected Business Role, Management Role, group, or collection will receive the announcement when they access the assigned application.

To verify:

  1. Navigate to the application's URL.
  2. Log in as a member of the newly added group or role.
  3. The announcement should appear before the application's landing page.

Announcements are only displayed if the user is both an assignee and accessing an application to which the announcement has been assigned.
