Is it possible to set the Site Homepage default by user or group?

Question

We have 2 different companies owned by a holding company and we want to make it so when people from one company logs in, they are directed to one Home Page and when the other logs in, they are directed to another. I know it is possible for a user to override the default homepage by going into their profile settings, but we would like to do this administratively. possibly by assigning users in a group or role. Is this possible? I have not been able to find any information on the matter.

I was able to create a browser shortcut for specific users who we were restricting to one space only. This allows them to hit that space's main page right away. Prior to this, these users tried to hit the site homepage configured in the Confluence settings when they went to our base URL, and would get a page not found message in Confluence.

So this is one option for a solution.

Gotcha. Hopefully they can integrate something like this into Confluence at some point. Thanks for the help!

That is true. I would tend to make this landing space only for the purpose or redirection. If you want another common space that should be a different space. It's not totally ideal, but it's the only way I know to do it short of writing your own add-on.
