Hi,

I am using Kibana 6.2.4.  
In kibana.yml file I defined "kibana.defaultAppId: "ADashboard". This makes sure that I always get 'ADashboar' as the default dashboard.

But for a dashboard-only-user, the 'defaultAppId' is not working. Any thoughts on how I can set a default dashboard for dash-only-user?

Thanks!

This is a legit bug. Dashboard only mode doesn't do anything with defaultAppId because there is only one app that will be displayed - dashboard. We failed to realize that some users can also use that variable to open up a specific dashboard by default.

I will look up the bug and link it here.  
Thanks
