You need the Global Messaging Admin permission to send a global message, which is a quick and effective means of communicating with program users about activities and key dates associated with the companies, contracts, and projects that are created, managed, and stored in Conga Contracts.

If you do not assign a Role to a Global Message, it will be visible to all users.
