Default page displayed in CMSDesk

I'm in the process of preparing editor accounts for a site and have noted that when a user logs in using the domain/cmsdesk address they always initially see the master page, which is often going to be just a framework page.

Is there an option for loading the designated homepage rather than the master page when CMSdesk is loaded to make the editor experience a little more user friendly?

Hello,

you could use Starting alias path (Users settings). You can find it in:

Site manager -> Administration -> Users -> edit -> General -> Starting alias path

It will display the subtree of the content starting with this path.

You can also customize the Logon page (<web site folder>/CMSPages/logon.aspx) and redirect the user after log in according to your needs. You can pre-select the node by "nodeid" query string paramater in URL of CMSDesk. For example:

http://localhost/55/CMSDesk/default.aspx?nodeid=15

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
