GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: Custom User Info Fields and FAB User View Overrides No Longer Work in Superset v6 (React Migration)
<!-- Answer --> In Superset v5, hitting the root URL as an unauthenticated user redirected you to `/login` with no extra parameters. In Superset v6, the redirect now includes a `next` parameter (like `/login/?next=%2Fsuperset%2Fwelcome%2F`). This change was introduced to improve user experience: after logging in, users are sent back to the page they originally tried to access, rather than always landing on a default page. This behavior is intentional and is part of broader architectural changes in v6, including the React frontend migration and new backend authentication views. The React login page and backend now coordinate to preserve and use the `next` parameter for post-login redirection, which was not consistently handled in v5. This makes navigation smoother, especially for deep links and SSO flows. The change is not configurable via `superset_config.py`βitβs built into the new routing and authentication logic. You can see the technical details and rationale in [PR #35345](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/35345) and [related discussions](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/37057). <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
