Release notes
Broadcast messages have been expanded to allow targeting messages to certain projects/groups/roles. When not targeting groups/projects/roles, a message is also displayed with git remote activity, e.g when a user does something git related via the console, the message is displayed. When using group/project/role targeted broadcast messages, this is no longer the case. This was by design (discussed here: gitlab-org/growth/team-tasks#461 (closed)) and i found out by speaking with folks who worked on this that this was because it was very unpopular.
Problem to solve
Is it possible to make this a feature that can be toggled on-off? I have a customer who has requested this via a zendesk ticket. They find it a very convenient way to communicate with staff/users, but without being able to target, it becomes a security concern.
Proposal
Add a checkbox that toggles sending the broadcast message via git remote on/off.
