Login Redirect Manager is a Joomla component with a system plugin and a user plugin for Joomla 4.4, 5, and 6.

Why site owners choose it

• One rule list: after login, after logout, first login, and opening the site
• Public site, administrator, or both: each rule chooses where it runs
• Who it matches: one user, selected groups, access levels, or everyone when those fields are empty
• Extra filters: IP, language, the page they came from, and an active date range
• Priority: lower numbers are checked first, and the first published match wins
• Open-site control: choose the audience, and whether it runs on the home page or any page
• Destinations: a menu item, an internal URL, an allowed external URL, or no redirect so Joomla's own return address stays
• External hosts: an allow-list decides which outside addresses are permitted
• Safety: skip a destination that would loop, honour a page that refused them, and keep an administrator deep link
• Super Users stay in the administrator
• rol=no: one link can skip the rules for that request
• Simulator: same engine as a real login, including first login, Remember me, and a refused return, without signing anyone in
• JSON: check the file before save, then export every rule, including unpublished ones
• Preferred group: when someone belongs to several groups, the user plugin can store the one that should match

Perfect when you want

• Customers to land in their account area, and editors to land in the article manager
• A welcome page only the first time someone signs in
• Guests who open the front page to be sent to a start page
• A logout that returns people to a thank-you page instead of the home page
• Different rules for the public site and the administrator
• A rule that applies only to one language, one IP range, or a short date window
• A JSON export you can check, edit, and import again
