You can set the page that a user gets sent to after a successful login on a site-wide or per-user basis.
- Go to Administration > General Configuration
- Click Edit
- 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.
Unknown macro: {yellow-note}
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
- View your profile via the profile link on the top right
- Click the Edit My Profile on the right
- Set Site Homepage to your desired home page
Is it possible to do the same per group ?

It isn't right now. It wouldn't be too hard for us to add, though.

When I go to change the Site Homepage, the only item in the dropdown is "dashboard." How do I select another page?

Stewart,
Do you have any other spaces set up?
Cheers,
Mike

Yeah, more than a dozen.

I'm experiencing the same thing. I've got nine different spaces but the "dashboard" is my only choice from the site-wide perspective. Individuals (per-user) are able to select any of the nine spaces however.

Do the spaces have home-pages defined?

I also have the problem (version 1.2.2). I have several spaces. They all have homepages defined, and only "dashboard" shows in the "Site homepage" combobox...

I was able to setup site home page when I first downloaded 1.2.2, but after playing around for a day or two with confluence I noticed that after sign-in I was going to dashboard instead of the specified site home page.
When I checked the general preferences in admin section, then just like everybody else here found only dashboard in the dropdown for site home page.
I just downloaded 1.3-DR1, but in vain, still cant specify a space as my site home page.

... and yeah, I do have home-pages defined for my spaces.

Just to add my two cents, we were trying to do the same thing here with no luck. Plenty of Spaces - all with Home Pages, but only "dashboard" available in the drop down list.
One thing to note - not sure if this is relevant, but my site has been restored from a backup.

To everyone concerned about their spaces not showing up in the drop-down menu: this is a bug in Confluenec 1.2. It would only show a space in th drop-down menu if that space was anonymously accessible. We were trying to make sure a site homepage wasn't set that people couldn't see, but this made the setting rather useless to people running private Confluence sites.
In 1.3, Confluence is smarter about offering you spaces to set as your homepage: if your site is anonymously accessible, it will offer you anonymously accessible spaces in the list. Otherwise, it will offer you all spaces visible to the "confluence-users" group.

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:
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...
