Hi Udara,

Can't we show the actual landing page even though the anon view is not
defined? So if the landing page doesn't have a anon view, then we can show
some message with all other links to accessible pages (Same as what we have
in regular websites. Once you logged in you have more features, otherwise
limited. But the home page is home page).

In your first option, the problem is that if the developer couldn't define
the anon view landing page, ultimately the dashboard is not accessible for
any anon user unless he knows the direct url for a page. Then there's no
point of introducing the anon view for such scenarios.

In the second option, as you mentioned it actually breaks the concept
behind a landing page. And know one can define what will be the actual
landing page in such situation.

Or else we can emphasis (or make it mandatory) the developer to define a
anon view for the landing page in the designer if there are any anon pages
for the dashboard.
