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?

RE:Default page displayed in CMSDesk
On this basis, it would be interesting when configuring the groups an option to set the default url to be shown to members of that group after login and logout time, because publishers can be redirected to default page after login, after logout to be the default page of the news section of the site for example.

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
