Hi, I've actuall just sussed this out so i'm going to post the solution here incase anyone else searches on this problem:
I put this in my app_controller inside function beforeFilter: //this first line tests to see if the user is in the admin group - in this case with the ID of 1 if ($this->Auth->user('group_id') == 1) { //user is admin: $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' => 'admin/ MYCONTOLLERNAME'); }else{ //user is user: $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' => 'MYCONTROLLERNAME'); } Which handily redirects admin users to admin screens and normal users to normal view screens, for example the difference between admin rout index and a standard index view: function admin_index() {} function index() {} these simple things can take hours to suss out when they shouldnt :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
