Redirect users based on the group membership to different locations

Kostya_Protsenk — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 23:14:37 GMT

All, The customer I am working with would like to redirect users based on the group membership to different locations. For example:

the users in "memebers" group or no group membership would be redirected to "contact your admin" custom page in Nuxeo.
the "administrators" would be redirected to default WEB UI location
all other groups would be redirected to another URL (custom UI built for nuxeo)

System specifics:

Cloud hosted
Version 9.10 with the latest HF-13
Mongo DB
Okta authentication (Nuxeo local authorization)
custom UI for general users and WebUI for Admins

I believe thie feature request is similar to the one requested in 2013 here: https://answers.nuxeo.com/general/q/b649e8939e3e4cd485d7faba20ca60fd/choose-default-start-Page-when-user-is-connecting

Per https://jira.nuxeo.com/browse/NXP-2767 updated in 2010, In order to have custom startup page, we currently need to override the StartupHelper class.

Nuxeo has changed significantly since 2010. Is overriding the StartupHelper class still the best way to implement the requested feature? I am looking for a solution that ideally can be configured in Studio or via nuxeo conf file.

Thank you!

It looks like this is the best answer available so far: https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/how-to-customize-startup-redirection/

It should work for JSF, but might not work for WebUI. Needs to be validated.

Hi Kostya,

Were you able to resolve this use case and redirect user based on membership? We have similar use case and I am trying to figure out how to do it. We have an event listener where I can set a property but I am not sure how to read that property in UI (Frontend). Appreciate your help . Thanks

Anand
