This is a request to provide a means by which we can either define or override the existing default dashboard displayed when a user first logs in.
There are a couple ways I can see this being implemented:
- Add a field to the server configuration that allows for specifying the name of an existing dashboard to use as the default.
- Add a field to the group configuration settings that allows for specifying the name of an existing dashboard to use as the default. (PREFERRED)
- The use-case here is that we have several products all using the same QuickBuild server and permissions are handled on a per-product basis using groups. Allowing the default template to be specified at the group level would allow us to provide different templates on a per-product basis, negating the need for us to set up separate QuickBuild servers per product. In the event a user belongs to multiple groups with different default dashboards, picking whatever's first in the list is probably fine, though it would probably be a good idea to sort it such that any admin dashboards would be the first chosen.
This request originated from the inquiry in the following forum post:
