UI branding inheritance

In Asgardeo, child organizations inherit branding from the organizational hierarchy. Child organizations can make their own adjustments to these inherited settings.

Organization administrators can access these settings in the Asgardeo Console under Branding > Styles & Text.

How it works

Inheritance for UI branding works as follows based on the branding type.

Organization-wide branding

Organization-wide branding settings apply to all applications within the organization. For all applications,

  • Child organizations inherit branding settings from the nearest ancestor with custom branding settings. If no ancestor has customized settings, the default value applies.

  • Organizations can customize their own branding settings, overriding the inherited settings. These overridden settings then pass down to the organization’s descendants.

  • Organizations can also revert their branding settings, restoring the inherited values.

Application-specific branding

Application-specific branding settings apply to a single application. For a given application,

  • Child organizations inherit branding from the nearest ancestor with custom settings. The rules are:

    • Application-specific branding overrides organization-wide branding at the same hierarchy level.

    • If the ancestor has application-specific branding, the child inherits that.

    • Otherwise, it inherits the ancestor’s organization-wide branding.

    • If no ancestor has customized settings, the default branding applies.

  • If the organization has its own organization-wide branding, that applies to the application.

  • Organizations can customize their own application-specific branding settings, overriding either their organization-wide settings or the inherited settings. These overridden settings then pass down to the organization’s descendants.

  • Organizations can also revert their application-specific branding settings, restoring either their organization-wide settings or the inherited values.

The following diagram explains how inheritance works for UI branding when your organization hierarchy has a combination of organization-wide branding and application-specific branding.
