Basically the issue is that when a URL (eg: http://localhost:8080/auth-server/admin/index.html#/realms/test ) is pasted or refreshed, we are thrown back to the default/first realm settings page instead of intended page. It basically needs some changes to the GlobalCtrl in order to not set any $location by default, leaving it to the angular router to handle the path. So, while fixing this, it made sense to me and Stian that the landing page would rather be a Realms List instead of landing on the first realm settings page. There's already a realm-list.html page made for this (which needed some fixes to work properly). So the idea now would be to make this page a bit more dynamic: in case the user is not logged in it should show a brief intro about Keycloak while in case the user is logged in, it would show the realm list (plus any other generic information that would make sense to be in keycloak "home page"). For non logged user it makes sense. I'm not so sure about the logged-in user use-case. I can see two cases: 1. User wants to edit 1st realm from the list - he has to click on that realm from the list. Now he's already there. Result: 1 more step added. 2. User wants to edit non-1st realm from the list - he has to click on the realm from the list. Now he has to choose it from the list. Result: equal number of steps. So unless we know what useful "other generic information" should be there, for me it's like adding one more step for the user in some cases. I'm aware of facts, that "steps" in my cases are not equal to clicks and those information value can leverage that extra step, I'm just trying to add my 5c. Any comments and/or requirements on this ?

The original intent of loading a realm on the first page was to optimize the number of user actions. If most users only configure one realm, then it doesn't make sense to show a list of realms. IMO, if there is only one realm beyond "Keycloak Adminstration", then automatically load that realm as the first page. This will reduce the number of user clicks.
