Setting user's default home page

[Gareth Cantrell]

I was wondering if there was an easy way to set the default home page for a subset of users?

There is a user setting, "app.view.default" which can be used to set this, and I was wondering if there is a way to set this when syncing the users from EntraID?

Our use case is currently that we have a sub-set of the portal translated and we'd like to ensure that our non-English users always land on the simplified translated home page.

Given the lack of response, I'm guessing that this is not possible, other than logging into each user's account using a support passcode and manually setting their default view?

So after some testing; elevating a basic user to full user and then setting the default view, and then demoting them back to a basic user doesn't do anything, even though the setting remains in the h_sys_app_user_settings table for the user.

Basically, there is no way of changing the default view for a basic user.

Hi @Gareth Cantrell

I'm not completely sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can use the combination of having different Company Groups within your organization where a primary Company Group can be applied to a user and then that user would land on a different page.

I've not had a chance to look to see how translations apply to this.

@James Ainsworth this appears to be setting the colour schemes, fonts and the link from the logo, rather than a separate home page.

I may be missing something, however I also don't want to break a live system by experimenting too much.
