What is Login Assistance Configuration?
Login Assistance Configuration is a Workspace Administrator-level setting that customizes the destination of the Contact Support link displayed on the Workspace Login page and Workspace Registration page.

The Contact Support link gives members a direct path to reach help when they are unable to access their accounts. A Workspace Administrator can point this link to a support email address, a help center or FAQ page, or another helpful resource.
