Hi Johan,

You could set the login URL to be /EPiServer/CMS/. That way they get into edit mode directly after login.

Cheers,

The dashboard menu items is inserted straight from the dashboard controller so there is no simple way of configuring it out.

Personally I'd use the IIS URL Rewrite module and set a redirect up for /episerver to the edit mode URL. You can use this module on Digital Experience Cloud or if you are using IIS. The following rule should do the trick (assuming your Episerver URL is "episerver"):

<system.webServer>
  <!-- Other settings -->
  <rewrite>
    <rules>
      <rule name="Redirect Episerver dashboard URL with trailing slash to edit mode" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="episerver/" />
        <action type="Redirect" url="/episerver/cms" redirectType="Found" />
      </rule>
      <rule name="Redirect Episerver dashboard URL without trailing slash to edit mode" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ExactMatch" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="episerver" />
        <action type="Redirect" url="/episerver/cms" redirectType="Found" />
      </rule>
  </rules>
  </rewrite>
  <!-- Other settings -->
</system.webServer>
