You can simply change the login post action to check the user and redirect to the correct view.
Create separate view for normal users.
NormalUser.cshtml
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Normal User";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h2>Hello User!</h2>
Inside the controller
[Authorize(Roles = "user")]
public ActionResult NormalUser()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Hello normal user.";
return View();
}
Then Login post action
// POST: /Account/Login
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> Login(LoginViewModel model, string returnUrl)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(model);
}
// This doesn't count login failures towards account lockout
// To enable password failures to trigger account lockout, change to shouldLockout: true
var result = await SignInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(model.Email, model.Password, model.RememberMe, shouldLockout: false);
switch (result)
{
case SignInStatus.Success:
var user = await UserManager.FindByEmailAsync(model.Email);
var userRole = await UserManager.GetRolesAsync(user.Id);
if (userRole.Any(role => role == "user"))
{
RedirectToAction("NormalUser", "Home");
}
else
{
RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
case SignInStatus.LockedOut:
return View("Lockout");
case SignInStatus.RequiresVerification:
return RedirectToAction("SendCode", new { ReturnUrl = returnUrl, RememberMe = model.RememberMe });
case SignInStatus.Failure:
default:
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Invalid login attempt.");
return View(model);
}
}
