Sign in page as the landing page

Posted on by setzav

Hello,

All the pages on my power pages are restricted to a specific user, including the home page. I want to direct the user to the sign-in page when they enter the URL https://mywebsite.powerappsportals.com or https://mywebsite.powerappsportals .com/SignIn. I have added this code to the header to redirect them:

{% if user %}

Hello, {{ user.fullname }}!

{% else %}

if (window.location.pathname != "/SignIn") {

window.location.assign("/SignIn?ReturnUrl=%2F");

}

</script>

{% endif %}

however, it always shows the access denied page and then the sign-in page, which looks very unprofessional. I want it to just land on the sign-in page first. Can anyone explain why?

Thank you in advance!

You can do this be creating Web Page Access Control Rule(s) set to "Restrict Read" for the pages that are not anonymous.

In addition, if not using local login and you are using only 1 identity provider (e.g. Azure AD, Azure B2C etc ) you can also set it to the default, and it will push the user straight to the identity provider sign-in (avoids the user having to press the button on the portal sign-in page)

Have you tried applying permissions to the Home page?

I did that but the issue is, that it shows access denied very briefly before showing the login page. I changed it to make my home available to all users and hide elements based on the user that logs in.

Thanks for the reply!
