I discovered that I needed to redirect users after logging in. Within minutes I'd found this plugin on the JED and within another few minutes I had installed the plugin and it worked perfectly. Thanks very much for solving my problem in under five minutes!
I installed this plugin and it worked great. With a little modification, you can extend this to work with other groups other than Joomla when using ACL components.
Modify the following files to work with other groups:
1) [template]/plugins/user/group_redirect.php
2) [template]/plugins/user/group_redirect.xml
For example, to add group 'Volunteers', add case statement to function onLoginUser() in group_redirect.php
case "Volunteers":
$link = $this->params->get('volunteers_url');
break;
And add corresponding entry in group_redirect.xml like the following.
Now when you go to the plugin in Joomla backend, you'll see the new field for "Volunteers URL".
