Hello All,

Does anyone know the "correct" was to have different routes based on admin role?

For example if a User login in with a role of an "Application owner" or "Administrator" they would go to the dashboard controller. If a User login has role of "Registered user" they would would be routed to a different controller instead.

In the following example of a controller, if a user tries to load the 'index' action, the _getRole beforeFilter will fire first and determine if the user is an administrator or a registered user and set the controller variable 'isAdministrator'. Then the _redirectByRole beforeFilter will fire (notice it is set to fire only on the index action) and redirect the user to the appropriate controller and action. Hope this helps.

var $isAdministrator = false;
$this->beforeFilter('_getRole');
$this->beforeFilter(array(
'_redirectByRole' => array(
'only' => array(
'index'
)
)
));

function index() {}

function _getRole() {
//Check if the user is an administrator or registered user and set $this->isAdministrator to true or false
}

function _redirectByRole() {
if($this->isAdministrator) {
$this->redirectTo(array(
'controller' => 'admincontroller',
'action' => 'adminaction'
));
}else{
$this->redirectTo(array(
'controller' => 'usercontroller',
'action' => 'useraction'
));
}
}
