I came across [this topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/force-direct-to-a-certain-topic-on-users-first-login/221826/2) on the subject, and it had me wondering if we could do the same but for OIDC users connecting that wouldn’t be through an invite.
I saw @SaraDev’s reply that:

On enterprise, how could this be done?

What problem is being redirected to a particular topic going to solve?
I sort-of solved a similar problem recently with a theme component that redirected to a group page for users who hadn’t joined a group. You can make the group description something like “by clicking the join button I agree to the privacy terms”.
A similar trick could be used to redirect to a topic using some other available data in the `current_user` load that you could then get to change.

I suppose I really like the idea of everyone who first joins the community starts at a getting started topic that we can write up as the ideal guide that we want to be sure every user indeed gets directed to, automatically, at least once.

The `current_user` object includes a `read_faq` value. In a theme component could redirect all users to the `/faq` page until they have read that topic. I’m pretty sure that “read” means “scrolled to the bottom of”.
