To encourage more users to sign in to Primo, we would like to provide more links on our public website, in emails, and through signage that direct users to specific pages in Primo, such as the AI Research Assistant or My Library Account. These require authentication first. While this works for our current staff and students, such links may also be clicked by people who do not have an account.

In this scenario, they are stuck on the authentication page with no option to opt out and get to the landing page. There is no top menu for them to choose from.

An optional/configurable link that offers them a path to continue as a guest user and takes them to the landing page would be helpful.

While this might also affect the sign-in window, it would not hurt to be there. It differs from the Cancel link, which simply closes the authentication pop-up – it does not take them to the landing page.

In cases where we direct the user to a specific page via authentication, the same type of cancel link would not work. This enhancement would instead take them to the landing page, as they are not authorised to use these special areas of Primo.

Example links:

//DOMAIN/nde/login?vid={VID code}&toState=account/overview&toParams={"vid":"{VID code}","lang":"en"}

//DOMAIN/nde/login?vid={VID code}&toState=researchAssistant&toParams={"vid":"{VID code}","lang":"en"}

While these examples and screenshots are from NDE, this is something that we had previously wanted to do in Primo VE too.
