Is there a rule I can use to redirect all users with the role admin to [example.com/admin](http://example.com/admin) ? Ofc this url should only be accesible by admins! ---

Hi @gutisAlex, Thanks for joining the Community! I will see if I can get a rule working for that. You may have already found this, but just in case, here is some documentation after log-in redirects: [Redirect Users](https://auth0.com/docs/users/redirect-users-after-login) ---

As suggested in [Once user authenticated, how do I redirect the url based on role? - #2 by dan.woda](https://community.auth0.com/t/once-user-authenticated-how-do-i-redirect-the-url-based-on-role/29632/2), one solution would be to pass the role as a custom claim in the ID Token and redirect the user based on their role. > **[Sample Use Cases: Rules with Authorization](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/access-control/sample-use-cases-rules-with-authorization?_ga=2.169357417.97902719.1615807267-1595415333.1607347674)** > > Learn how to use rules with roles-based access control (RBAC).

The guy himself said it can be done in a numerous ways… I am already passing the roles via token and I probably would have some ideas to implement a way into my app to redirect an admin to the admin page but how about [Redirect Users from Within Rules](https://auth0.com/docs/rules/redirect-users) ? I managed to redirect an Admin to the page by simply using this rule: ``` function (user, context, callback) { if(context.authorization.roles.includes('Admin')) { context.redirect = { url: "http://localhost:8080/admin" }; } return callback(null, user, context); } ``` Only problem right now is I am running into and endless loop… I didnt quite understand the part where I have to redirect to the continue endpoint… So when going on localhost:8080/admin I have to take the state from the url and redirect to localhost:8080/continue?state=THE\_ORIGINAL\_STATE and the auth0 side now would know all is fine and redirect me back to my admin site eventhough I dont even have that endpoint?! So basically before anything gets rendered on my admin page I check if there is a state in the url, if so I redirect to localhost:8080/continue?state=abc123 and if not I stay?! I probably have to extend the rule by the validate resumed login rule also? ---

The [Redirect Users from Within Rules](https://auth0.com/docs/rules/redirect-users?_ga=2.72954843.97902719.1615807267-1595415333.1607347674) functionality takes place _before_ authentication is finished. It is primarily used as a way to additional steps to the user registration process such as a privacy agreement step. The user is not logged until you redirect them to the `https:YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN.com/continue?state=THE_ORIGINAL_STATE`. > [@gutisAlex](#): > > So when going on localhost:8080/admin I have to take the state from the url and redirect to localhost:8080/continue?state=THE\_ORIGINAL\_STATE It would be your Auth0 tenant’s `/continue` endpoint instead of your app’s. Only one redirect can take place during the login process via a rule. The redirect rule doesn’t seem like the functionality you are looking for since you’d like to redirect the user _after_ authentication. Whereas the redirect rule is for adding additional steps to the login process. ---

Ok I worked out a solution on my end using react hooks… So the [Redirect Users From Within Rules](https://auth0.com/docs/rules/redirect-users?_ga=2.72954843.97902719.1615807267-1595415333.1607347674) functionality would come in handy if I have smth like an onboarding, where a user has to provide additional infos, like an address, nationality, ect.?! So when visiting my site I am getting redirected to onboarding, put in extra information, which I send to my own backend, and if that worked I redirect to [myapp.eu.auth0.com/continue?state=123](http://myapp.eu.auth0.com/continue?state=123) and the authentication would continue sending me to the main page?! Is that the flow of this feature? I probably need a custom prop on auth side to check if hasOnboarded or not?! ---

Yes, that is correct! The redirect users from within rules functionality would be helpful for an onboarding step. Yes, you are right about including the `hasOnboarded` property. You could store this in the user’s app\_metadata and check for the key before changing the redirect URL. ---

ok but how am I setting up the onBoarding prop to every new user registration? I was reading the [https://auth0.com/docs/users/set-metadata-properties-on-creation](https://auth0.com/docs/users/set-metadata-properties-on-creation) article but I dont really understand it… I am using the universal login, and over this people register as well, I dont really have anything to do with the whole registration process… So where am I setting this up? Edit: I managed to set the prop via hooks… ---
