JSF permanent redirect using a bean on a preRenderView event

Question

Is there a way to permanently redirect to a page on preRenderEvent view using faces-config navigation?

For example, after login it will redirect on a page and on that page I need to know the role of a user so that I can redirect him to the correct page.

I'm using this to redirect:

<f:metadata>
    <f:event listener="#{loginRedirectBean.redirect}" type="preRenderView"></f:event>
</f:metadata>

public void redirect() throws IOException {
    if (identity.isLoggedIn()) {
        if(hasRole("admin")) {
            ExternalContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
            context.redirect("faces.admin");
        }
    }
}

Since faces-config navigation. I've just used a file given a role.

public void redirect() throws IOException {
    String redirectUrl = "login.jsf";
    if (identity.isLoggedIn()) {
        try {
            User user = ((PicketlinkUser) identity.getAccount()).getUser();
            if (user.hasRole(Role.ROLE_ADMIN)) {
                redirectUrl = "pages/secured/" + Role.ROLE_ADMIN + "/index.jsf";
            } else if (user.hasRole(Role.ROLE_BRIDE)) {
                redirectUrl = "pages/secured/" + Role.ROLE_BRIDE + "/index.jsf";
            } else if (user.hasRole(Role.ROLE_VENDOR)) {
                redirectUrl = "pages/secured/" + Role.ROLE_VENDOR + "/index.jsf";
            } else if (user.hasRole(Role.ROLE_COLLABORATOR)) {
                redirectUrl = "pages/secured/" + Role.ROLE_COLLABORATOR + "/index.jsf";
            } else {
                log.info("user={} has no valid role?", user);
                redirectUrl = "index.jsf";
            }
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            log.error("no role?={}", e.getMessage());
        }
    } else {
        log.error("isNotLoggedIn, redirect to login.");
    }

    ExternalContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
    context.redirect(redirectUrl);
}
