redirection after signin with the use of cognito user groups

Question

I have setup a cognito user pool with amplify and react. I now want to configure the authentication in such a way that after signin the users are redirected to pages depending on which group they are in meaning if someone from the group "admin" signsin he will be directed to a different page than someone from the group "user". Help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks alot.

Answer 1

Once you get the user accessToken after logging in via Amplify Auth, you will be able to get the groups user is assigned to via accessToken.payload["cognito:groups"].

You can also get the user session via const session = await Auth.currentSession();, inside you will find the accessToken.

Based on that you will be able to redirect wherever you need.
