# Custom messages
*The Custom messages feature is available to customers with* [*Enterprise Edition*](https://www.sonarsource.com/plans-and-pricing/enterprise/)*.*
## Log-in message
As an admin, you can display a custom login message that all users will see on their login screen.
An administrator can:
* define or edit a message using text or markdown
* remove the message at any time
The use of links is supported.
You can adjust the login message setting by navigating to **Administration** > **Configuration** > **General Settings** > **General** > **Log-in message**.
Switch on/off the option to display a message, type in your text, and save.
{% hint style="info" %}
If the message is turned on but the text field is empty, nothing will be displayed to users.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.4/instance-administration/ui-customization/custom-messages.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
