Block platform usage entirely (“Maintenance Mode“)

Sometimes is might be needed to block all platform usage entirely (“Maintenance Mode“). While this is not supported with the Platform Announcements feature, there is a Workaround available to prevent users from using the platform when they see the Platform Announcement.

To enable a maintenance mode

1. Configure a platform Announcement like described above

2. Add this snipped to the Organization → Custom Script:

<style>
  .kt-button {
    display:none;
  }
  body{
    pointer-events: none;
  }
</style>

To disable a maintenance mode

1. Remove the snipped again from the Custom Script.

2. Disable the platform announcement
