# Admin Banners

You can customize the message that appears to a user who logs on to the security device using the console, Telnet or SSH. A default message already exists for Telnet and SSH, but you can write a new one to suit your needs. You can have a different message for console and one for both Telnet and SSH.

The login message (or admin banner) appears when the user tries to log on to the security device.

### To Customize a Message

Enter the new message in the appropriate text field (the maximum number of characters is 127), and then click Apply to save your changes.
