      When switching to another user (Log in as)  to see the site from its perspective, moodle doesn't redirect to the start page which was set by the viewed user.

      Steps:

      As Admin

      • Site Administration -> Appereance -> Navigation -> Start page for users (defaulthomepage): Change to for example "My Courses"
      • Site Administration -> Users -> Browse list of users
        • Click on a user name
        • Under "Administration" click on "Log in as"
        • Follow the process

      Moodle redirects to the default page (parameter redirect=0 in address bar), ignoring the  prevoiusly set setting.

      If you login as the user vie the login page, the set start page is shown.

       

      The related file is course/loginas.php

       

      The problem resembles MDL-78408 but the changes don't help with this problem.
