tsf All they should need to do is click on the Power BI in the upper left and they will be taken to their workspace.

As to the "why" - I would assume it deals with the fact that it is a combination of factors. 1) This is the first time login behaviour no matter if something has been shared. 2) If nothing has been shared, the first thing that you need to do is connect to data, thus, the get data screen.

True - but knowing to click on the Power BI link at the top isn't intuitive and doesn't help usability. (Many don't even know it is a link.) All other times following that initial login, Microsoft places a "Workspaces" link on the top left just below the Power BI link. Much more intuitive, just don't know why that is always there.
