Managing Admin Interface Themes

The Secure Record Transfer application provides customizable themes for the admin interface. This allows administrators to customize the appearance of the admin interface to match organizational branding or improve usability.

Note

Only superusers can access and manage admin interface themes. Regular admin users will not see the Theme Admin.

To change the currently active theme:

  1. Log into the admin interface as a superuser

Changing the active theme will affect the admin interface appearance for all admin users site-wide. The change takes effect immediately after saving.
