There is either a global defaukt start URL for fresh logged in users set in Check_MK. It is either dashboard.py by default or customized using the global settings. There is also a user attribute to customize this setting for each user individually.

The idea of this setting was to set the start URL attribute only in case one wanted to override the global setting. But the attribute was set to dashboard.py during creation of each new user, since the attribute was not an optional one. If one then tried to change the global setting it had no effect on the users, because they had all the start URL set to dashboard.py individually.

This option has been made optionally now. It defaults to Use the default start URL for new users.
