Hi
I have setup dashboards on ELK 7.2. All my users in the organization are not aware of the tool.
So I don't expect them to know how to search and add filters etc.
So, I want to create a default dashboard main page with links to different dashboards I created.
I want the default main page to be loaded when a user logs in. Then they can choose from the links on the main page and get redirected to other dashboards.
Is it possible to redirect a specific user to a default main dashboard page?
Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a way to set a default page without forking Kibana. If you'd like you can [submit a feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) for this ability.

I mean loading a default dashboard. When a user logs in?. If this feature is not available, I will submit a request.

Found what you need! There is a setting called `kibana.defaultAppId` that can be set to a dashboard after the user logs in instead of the home page. Set this in your `kibana.yml` file:
```auto
kibana.defaultAppId: "dashboard/9f8f1b50-4c2f-11e8-b802-f579584b9efd"
```
You can get the ID from the dashboard's URL. For example, the ID for this dashboard:
```auto
https://mykibana.com/app/kibana#/dashboard/edf84fe0-e1a0-11e7-b6d5-4dc382ef7f5b?_g=(...)
```
would be `edf84fe0-e1a0-11e7-b6d5-4dc382ef7f5b`.
Hope that helps!

Thank you. This will help me in setting up a home page for a non technical user.
