Hello, I want to display a pop up and basically disable any functionality on the page by saying the portal is down for maintenance and redirect the users to another page. I wanted to do this on my hr portal. Any suggestions?

Assuming that enabling/disabling the pop-up is going to be a manual process and not something tied to the outage and/or CMDB wouldn't it be a similar amount of effort to either:

1. Rename the portal temporarily and replace it with a "maintenance" version of the portal that only has a single page that displays the message you'd like with a link to the redirect location?
   Ex. Rename portal to HR_temp and rename your Maintenance portal to HR. Then reverse once maintenance is complete?

2. Replace the HR portal homepage with a maintenance page similar as above but only changing the homepage rather than the full portal.

I know that these solutions aren't as fun as what you're probably thinking but in terms of simplicity and level of effort it's something you might want to consider.
