Yes, under Messages, you will have Archive for admins, moderators, and staff that are indented.

There is for all pages:

```plaintext
.user-navigation .preferences-nav .nav-account { display: none; } /* Account */
.user-navigation .preferences-nav .nav-profile { display: none; } /* Profile */
.user-navigation .preferences-nav .nav-emails { display: none; } /* Emails */
.user-navigation .preferences-nav .nav-notifications { display: none; } /* Notifications */
.user-navigation .preferences-nav .nav-categories { display: none; } /* Notiication -> Categories */
.user-navigation .preferences-nav .nav-tags { display: none; } /* Notiication -> Tags */
.user-navigation .preferences-nav .nav-interface { display: none; } /* Interface */

```

These are good thoughts. We actually use a plugin-outlet `above-user-preferences` in a plugin. I see this outlet is still there. [Here](https://github.com/sitepoint/discourse-theme/blob/master/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/connectors/above-user-preferences/sso_notice.hbs) is a way to add text to it (note: it appears in all Profile Preference areas, so you will want to word it accordingly)

You can create a theme component that does the following (in `</head>`):

```plaintext
<script type='text/x-handlebars' data-template-name='/connectors/above-user-preferences/sso_notice'>
  modified contents of connectors/above-user-preferences/sso_notice.hbs file goes here
</script>

```

I’ve exported it for convenience:  
[sso-customization.dcstyle.json](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/c/5cc1e2fb24394e55fcc4ffc3b20a74385f1b20b1.json) (596 Bytes)
