Redirect users straight to space home page after successful login

Confluence 2.8 Documentation

Index

You can set the page that a user gets sent to after a successful login on a site-wide or per-user basis.

Site-wide

  1. Go to Administration > General Configuration
  2. Click Edit
  3. Set Site Homepage to your desired home page

The spaces available to be set as your home page depends on the access permissions of the space and your site.

  • If your site allows anonymous access, the site homepage must also be anonymously accessible.
  • If your site does not allow anonymous access, the site homepage must be accessible to the "confluence-users" group.

In Confluence 1.2 and earlier, the site homepage has to be anonymously accessible, regardless of site permissions.

Note: please ensure that the View Space Goes to Space Summary setting is set to OFF if you want users to be sent to space homepage instead of the summary page

Per User

  1. View your profile via the profile link on the top right
  2. Click the Edit My Profile on the right
  3. Set Site Homepage to your desired home page

    About redirecting the home page per a group, is there any news on this item? It would be very useful for us, as we envision each department will have it's homepage.
    Or does someone know of a macro that could help me do that? I will look up the webservices api in the meantime.

      You could use a combination of the Redirection Plugin and the Visibility Plugin to achieve this result. Something like this:

      {show-to:group=group-1}
{redirect:GROUP1SPACE:Home}
{show-to}
{show-to:group=group-2,group-3}
{redirect:GROUP2SPACE:Some Other Page}
{show-to}

      You can have as many {show-to} sections as you wish. The redirect will only be triggered if the viewer is in the specified group. Of course, if the user is in more than one group, the result is unpredictable...

        This isn't working for me. When I enter the following:

        {show-to:users=@anonymous}
{redirect:ds:Home}
{show-to}

        I get 

        <div class='panelMacro'><table class='noteMacro'><colgroup><col width='24'><col></colgroup><tr><td valign='top'><img src="/images/icons/emoticons/warning.gif" width="16" height="16" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"></td><td><b>Redirection Notice</b><br />This page should redirect to <a href="/display/ds/Home" title="Home">ds:Home</a>.</td></tr></table></div><SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
<!--
location.replace('/display/ds/Home');
// -->
</script>

        If I remove either the redirect or the show-to I get a response, but I can't get them to work together. What am I doing wrong?

          Hi,

          I would suggest you to contact the Redirection Plugin and the Visibility Plugin author pertaining to the problem that you are having. From there, they should be able to help you verify the problem.
