### Why grant this permission?

Happeo **admins** can grant branding permissions to users, empowering them to manage the visual identity of their intranet. **Previously**, only platform admins had access to branding settings.

## Who can have branding permission?

Happeo **admins** have branding permission by **default** and can **grant** it to **regular users.** When granted, regular users gain access to the ' [Branding](https://app.happeo.com/admin-v2/branding)' section within the **Admin Settings** (accessible by clicking their **avatar** in Happeo's main navigation). This allows them to manage and customize the platform's branding:
