Lumi Chat appears on the login page for your organization, but you must log in to Brightspace before you can access its full functionality. It is recommended to display contact information for available support resources if users experience Brightspace authentication issues.
Note: For organizations where users access Brightspace through another SSO system, pre-login information is still recommended in case a user navigates to the Brightspace authentication page.
