Due to some recent updates, we now have three options for selecting a default start up page for each user. Previously, you could set it to a default dashboard or any other custom dashboard. We now have a third option, which is a welcome page for new users.

This change allows the rest-api user to select any one of these three options when creating or editing a user. The default setting will be the default dashboard.
