We have an enterprise client who wants to control access to reports via Group Workspaces. When users log in to Power BI, they have to switch to the Group Workspace before they can see their dashboards. You should be able to update your user profile to specify which workspace is your default. This way I can make the Sales Workgroup my default (for example) and then whenever I log in, it shows me my sales dashboards straight away.

"Featured Dashboard" was made exactly for that: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-service-march-update-part-two/#featured

RE: Ability to set a Group Workspace as your default landing page

is it possible set the default to group workspaces or my workspaces instead of recent (as it's quite messy since a since report or dashboard can appear multiple times in the list, including those that were deleted.) so that the user can view the listing of dashboards and reports that they can view. Feature Dashboard is great, but users prefer to have the "menu" as default instead of a particular dashboard.

RE: Ability to set a Group Workspace as your default landing page

can we default that to the workspaces -> dashboards, or workspaces -> reports? currently the default is the recent used dashboard/reports list, which majority of users found that it is not user friendly (for example, i access to a reports every few days, it will appear multiple times on the list, for non-technical users, they will found that confusing). why now just default them to the list of dashboard or reports that they can access to?

I agree. It would also be nice to include an area for announcements, logos, etc. An actual homepage. These things are easy to create in SharePoint.

RE: Ability to set a Group Workspace as your default landing page

Featured dashboard does not solve this problem because each user has to set their featured dashboard. I think the goal is to have control over which dashboard is shown automatically, for all users, and possibly set that default to be different depending on which group they belong to.
