Sonata User Bundle + Admin Bundle admin redirect after login - sonata-admin

Question

I'm trying to make sonata work like this:
- if a regular user logs in he's redirected to "/"
- if an admin logs in he's redirected to "/admin/dashboard"
I tried to make it with firewalls that are in app/config/security.yml and here's what i come to:
# This firewall is used to handle the admin login area
# This part is handled by the Sonata User Bundle
admin:
pattern: /(.*)
context: user
form_login:
provider: fos_userbundle
login_path: /login
use_forward: false
check_path: /login_check
failure_path: null
default_target_path: /admin/dashboard
logout:
path: /admin/logout
target: /
anonymous: true
# This firewall is used to handle the public login area
# This part is handled by the FOS User Bundle
main:
pattern: .*
context: user
form_login:
provider: fos_userbundle
login_path: /login
use_forward: false
check_path: /login_check
failure_path: null
default_target_path: /
always_use_default_target_path: true
logout:
path: /logout
target: /
now every logged in user is redirected to /admin obviously throwing 'access denied' for non-admin users.
Is there any way to fix it in this yml file or shall i search for some different way of checking user roles?

One way to redirect user on basis of role you can implement your own authentication handler and check role of the user in onAuthenticationSuccess() function and redirect depending on the nature of user
namespace YourNamespace\YourBundle\Services;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authentication\AuthenticationSuccessHandlerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\TokenInterface;
class AuthenticationHandler implements AuthenticationSuccessHandlerInterface {
protected $container;
public function __construct( $container ) {
$this->container = $container;
}
public function onAuthenticationSuccess( Request $request, TokenInterface $token ) {
$user = $token->getUser();
if($user->isGranted( 'ROLE_ADMIN' )){
$url = $this->container->get( 'router' )->generate( 'sonata_admin_dashboard' );
}else{
$url = $this->container->get( 'router' )->generate( 'your_welcome_route' );
}
return new RedirectResponse( $url );
}
}
define service for your authentication handler
services:
admin_success_handler:
class: YourNamespace\YourBundle\Services\AuthenticationHandler
arguments: [ '#service_container' ]
And in your firewall define success_handler
admin:
pattern: /(.*)
context: user
form_login:
provider: fos_userbundle
login_path: /login
use_forward: false
check_path: /login_check
failure_path: null
default_target_path: /admin/dashboard
success_handler: admin_success_handler
logout:
path: /admin/logout
target: /
anonymous: true
