Laravel 5.3 Login redirect to different pages for multiple users

Question

I have Laravel 5.3 with three different types of users. I want them to be redirected to different dashboard pages after logging in. For example:

user -> login -> user-dashboard

admin -> login -> admin-dashboard

I have created a middleware called CheckRole:

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    if($request->user() === null) {
    return response("Insufficient Permissions" , 401);
    }
    $actions = $request->route()->getAction();
    $roles = isset($actions['roles']) ? $actions['roles'] : null;

    if($request->user()->hasAnyRole($roles) || !$roles) {
            return $next($request);
        }
    return response("Insufficient Permissions" , 401);

}

Routes

Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth','roles'], 'roles' => 'Admin'],  function () { 
    // Routes here
}

Roles are working perfectly.

Now redirectTo= ''; in the LoginContoller points to one view only. I have checked the documentation and I believe this has something to do with guards which have no explanation on how to set it up.

I have also seen multiauth, but I do not think it is wise to create different tables for different users and hence looking for an alternate answer.

Any Suggestion would be appreciated.

My tables are like:

Table users

id | name | email
---------
1  | John | [email protected]
2  | Michael | [email protected]

Table roles

id | name
---------
1  | Admin
2  | PrivilegedMember
3  | Subscriber

Table user_role

id | user_id | role_id
----------------------
1  |    1    |    1   
2  |    2    |    2

This might be a duplicate of the below question but the answer provided leaves without explaining multiple redirections.

Multiple Authentication in Laravel 5.3

Answer 1

Implement an authenticated() method in your LoginController and add the redirection logic there:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;

class LoginController extends Controller
{
    use AuthenticatesUsers;

    // ...

    /**
     * The user has been authenticated.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  mixed  $user
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
    {
        if($user->hasRole('Admin')) {
            return redirect()->intended('admin');
        } 

        if ($user->hasRole('PrivilegedMember')) {
            return redirect()->intended('PriviligedMember/index');
        }
    }

    // ...
}

The method is called after the user is authenticated. See the last two lines of sendLoginResponse:

/**
 * Send the response after the user was authenticated.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
protected function sendLoginResponse(Request $request)
{
    $request->session()->regenerate();

    $this->clearLoginAttempts($request);

    return $this->authenticated($request, $this->guard()->user())
            ?: redirect()->intended($this->redirectPath());
}

So it's a perfect candidate for such logics.

One other note on your own answer, the AuthenticatesUser is a trait that horizontally extends the LoginController, you can safely override any of its methods in your controller without touching the core files.
