You can configure Confluence to direct users to any of the space homepages on the site when they login, rather than to the Dashboard.

To configure the site-wide homepage,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'General Configuration' in the left panel.

  2. Click 'Edit' at the bottom of the 'Options and Settings' screen.

  3. Select the space you want to set as homepage from the 'Set Homepage' drop-down menu .
    Ensure that the 'View Space Goes to Browse Space' setting is set to 'OFF' if you want users to be sent to the space homepage and not the summary page


The spaces available to be set as your homepage will depend on the access permissions of the space and the 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.

A tip for new administrators - this setting only seems to apply to users, not the administrator (Confluence 2.2.5). Learnt this one the hard way.

A minor point, but this page 'Configuring the Site Homepage' is listed in its own 'Related Topics' list.
