Description:

I am attempting to redirect a user based on role (I use Spatie) on their first login however no matter what I try nothing seems to work - I have tried register() function in Nova Service Provider as suggested in docs however this is not redirecting me:

public function register()
    {
    
                $user = request()->user();
    
                if ($user) {
                    if ($user->hasRole('super-admin')) {
                        dump("You are super!");
                        Nova::initialPath('/resources/campaigns');
                    } elseif ($user->hasRole('importer')) {
                        dump("Come in importer!");
                        Nova::initialPath('/csv-import');
                    } else {
                        // default path for other roles
                        Nova::initialPath('/resources/users');
                    }
                }

    }

The dump is coming through but the user is still going to dashboard by default. Thank you!

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue on a fresh Nova installation:

You can do the following:

use Laravel\Nova\Events\ServingNova;
use Laravel\Nova\Nova;

Nova::serving(function (ServingNova $event) {
    /** @var \App\Models\User|null $user */
    $user = $event->request->user();

    if (is_null($user)) {
        return;
    }
    if ($user->hasRole('super-admin')) {
        Nova::initialPath('/resources/campaigns');
    } elseif ($user->hasRole('importer')) {
        Nova::initialPath('/csv-import');
    } else {
        // default path for other roles
        Nova::initialPath('/resources/users');
    }
});

So.. I just realised it actually is not working for me. I can confirm that it does go into the if condition (and dumps) where it sets the importer role - however it still goes to dashboard by default. I've added a Nova initial path underneath to contacts and it goes there in the meantime.

 Nova::serving(function (ServingNova $event) {
            /** @var \App\Models\User|null $user */
            $user = $event->request->user();
        
            if (is_null($user)) {
                return;
            }
            if ($user->hasRole('super-admin')) {
                Nova::initialPath('/resources/campaigns');
            } elseif ($user->hasRole('importer')) {
                dump("Importer is a no go");
                Nova::initialPath('/csv-import');
            } else {
                // default path for other roles
                Nova::initialPath('/resources/users');
            }
        });

        Nova::initialPath('/resources/contacts');

    }

This worked for me in NovaServiceProvider::boot():

Event::listen(
    \Illuminate\Auth\Events\Authenticated::class,
    function () {
        $user = Auth::user();
    
        if (is_null($user)) {
            return;
        }
        
        if ($user->hasRole(['management', 'management-admin'])) {
            Nova::initialPath('/resources/users');
        }
    }
);

Thank you so much for the alternative approach. I had some strange behavior with the previous way. Chrs

Thanks @mwehrlein, the @crynobone approach not working for me.
