Title:
  ability to post system message

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For administrators, it would be nice to be able post a system message
  that would be visible on the home page and logged in-home until
  removed by the administrator.  Although technically this could be done
  by editing the site page, editing the site page would not allow
  targetted messages.

  The best scenario would be the ability to control who sees the message
  and when, much like the current controls for view access.  With the
  added option of institution as well as groups.

  Institution admins should only be allowed to publish a message to
  institution members and groups.

  Consider having a message type:

  [urgent]
  [info]

  ** This should not be viewed as news/bulletin board.  It would be for
  things like planned system down time.  That said, a news / bulletin
  board for the home page is a good idea, but separate feature ;-)
