Completely hide DatoCMS branding from clients (100% white label)

Hi @mat_jack1 I do agree with @rick that the Enterprise plan is sadly not appropriate for me now, but once we go past the Developer plan, whitelabelling should come automatically. Most specifically, because it doesn’t even make sense for you (Dato) to sell to/gain brand awareness with our clients.

Our clients do not have the knowledge or setup required to make use of a sophisticated technical tool like Dato. Frankly they don’t even understand it, and this name (plus process of registering an account with Dato) confuses them (start asking questions, what is Dashboard, what is Dato, is this something dodgy? etc.).

Rant over! – let me get to the point. You can easily enable whitelabelling without SSO just by implementing the following for anything above Developer plan:

  1. Hide DatoCMS logo on login screen
  2. Hide What’s New inside the app for non-admin
  3. Hide support chat inside the app for non-admin

And/or implement these as new permissions for role types.

Then I can simply create an account for my Client, using my domain name, e.g. name.client@agency.com. I then tell them the username/password to use to login. So now they never have to see Dato or understand the Dato signup process, nor have a Dato account directly (which it doesn’t make sense for them to have anyway).
