Different default routes for different roles - asp.net-mvc

Question

Is it possible to create a different default route for a different user role?
e.g.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Admin", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "totalrewardstatement", action = "Details", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
Have the default route above for normal users but use the admin one if an admin user logs in?

Answer 1

Role based routing is not supported in MVC. What you do is have default controller which checks for the roles and redirect to that controller
public ActionResult Index()
{
if (User.IsInRole("Supervisor"))
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "InvitationS");
}
return View();
}

Using a custom RouteConstraint did the trick for me on mvc 5.
public class RoleConstraint : IRouteConstraint
{
public bool Match
(
HttpContextBase httpContext,
Route route,
string parameterName,
RouteValueDictionary values,
RouteDirection routeDirection
)
{
return httpContext.User.IsInRole(parameterName) ;
}
}
RouteConfig.cs
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Reader_Home",
url: "",
defaults: new { controller = "Reader", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
constraints: new { reader_role = new RoleConstraint() }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Author_Home",
url: "",
defaults: new { controller = "Publication", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
constraints: new { author_role = new RoleConstraint() }
);
I'm using the parameterName (author_role and reader_role) as the role name to check for simplification.
