Description
Overview of the Feature Request
When a new user creates a Dataverse account, they receive a welcome message telling them to contact an incorrect e-mail address (#11626) and also receive a link to the guides proper. Our customer engagement person would like to be able to customize this message, or alternately disable it entirely.
What kind of user is the feature intended for?
Sysadmin
What inspired the request?
New users get a welcome message containing a bad e-mail address (in our case, a do-not-reply) and a one-link-fits-all guide location.
What existing behavior do you want changed?
We would like to be able to customize the content of welcome e-mails sent to new users.
Any brand new behavior do you want to add to Dataverse?
