✅

Create a separate view that redirects user’s based on whether they are in the admin group.

from django.shortcuts import redirect

def login_success(request):
    """
    Redirects users based on whether they are in the admins group
    """
    if request.user.groups.filter(name="admins").exists():
        # user is an admin
        return redirect("admin_list")
    else:
        return redirect("other_view")

Add the view to your urls.py,

url(r'login_success/$', views.login_success, name='login_success')

then use it for your LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL setting.

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'login_success'

I use an intermediate view to accomplish the same thing:

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = "/wherenext/"

then in my urls.py:

(r'^wherenext/$', views.where_next),

then in the view:

@login_required
def wherenext(request):
    """Simple redirector to figure out where the user goes next."""
    if request.user.is_staff:
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('admin-home'))
    else:
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('user-home'))

from django.shortcuts import redirect

def redirect_response(request, **kwargs):
  if kwargs.get('something'):
    redirect(to='https://example.com/foo')
  else:
    redirect(to='index')

urlpatterns = [
    path('redirect', redirect_response, name='redirect'),
    path('index',index_response ,name='index')
]
