Need advice on the login logic of my application

Hi, I need some advice on the connection logic of the application I am currently working on and on the implementation I have already set up.
To put it simply, to access the application, one must be logged in. At the user level, there are 2 access levels:

  • Administrators: who can access the application and the Filament dashboard;
  • Clients who can access the application, but not the Filament dashboard.
I would like to use the Filament login form, which perfectly matches my expectations.

So, for that, I modified the Filament Login class and the toResponse() method to handle redirection based on whether the user is an administrator or a client.

public function toResponse($request): Redirector|RedirectResponse
    {
        $user = Filament::auth()->user();
        $intendedUrl = session()->get('url.intended', '/');

        if (str_contains($intendedUrl, '/admin')) {
            if ($user->hasRole('super_admin')) {
                return redirect()->to(Filament::getUrl());
            }
            return redirect()->to(route('home'));
        }

        return redirect()->to(route('home'));

    }


The idea is to manage the redirection based on the base URL and the user role.
I also created a home route with a custom Middleware (RedirectIfNotAuthenticated) : 

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
})->middleware('custom.auth')->name('home');


class RedirectIfNotAuthenticated
{
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next): Response
    {
        if (!auth()->check()) {
            return redirect()->route('filament.admin.auth.login');
        }
        return $next($request);
    }
}


Everything seems to be working correctly; the only "hiccup" is that the login URL remains tied to admin/login and I have the feeling we can't change it (or perhaps I just haven't found how...).

Does that seem correct to you? Or is there a more optimal approach?
Thank you in advance for your advice 🙂
