UX Specs: Custom Branding
Overview
Enable system admins to configure system-wide branding (themes, logos, login screen elements) that:
Align the platform with organizational brand identity
Are simple to configure and maintain
Provide controlled flexibility without risking UI breakage
Apply across web, desktop, and mobile clients
Primary user
System administrators (often technical, security-minded, time-constrained)
Admins in regulated environments:
Prefer guardrails over freedom
Expect predictable defaults
Want reversibility and safe experimentation
Secondary users
End users who experience branding passively (login → workspace → ongoing usage)
Key pain points (from current state):
No system-wide default or enforced themes
No custom login screen styling (colors, backgrounds, imagery)
No header or login logo placement options
No ability to hide “Create account” CTA
No custom CSS on login page
