Currently we can set the "Default Landing Page" to "/user" and users will get redirected to their Dashboard when logging in.
If a user is a logged in already, this action will not trigger. There should be an option available so that when hitting the base URL (e.g. in.liferay.com or localhost:8080), it directs the user to their dashboard. Allow setting "Home URL" to "/user" can be an option.

Is this all on the back end, or is there an option somewhere to configure this?

[Sherry Yang]

In order to be redirected, "/user" should be set @ "Home URL"
