Different Logins = different page/form displayed
What I would like to do is have 3 different levels of login to my db.
This is what I want to achieve.
I am building an app (R5) that will be accessed via a web browser. When people visit the site they are welcomed and then when moving further inside are challanged to login (this bit I have done). What I would like to achieve is that the person who is accessing the site gets directed to a different page/form/view depending on that login.
Any ideas as to how this would best be achieved are greatly welcome.
TIA

thanks for that, I think this seems to be along the right lines but I have a couple of things I am not sure about in your suggested answer, and just to say I am pretty new to notes so please bear with me.
The main thing I am confused about is this:
Even if a user is assigned a certain role the app won't know what it is until they have logged in.
The way I have the app set up at the moment is like this: I have a domain that I have registered, lets say www.mynotesapp.com when people go there they get a welcome screen and a link that says login. Clicking on the link brings up the login dialog then takes them to a new page. I was hoping that the new page they would be taken to would reflect who they logged in as but I am begining to think this might be impossible.
I have chosen this approach because I don't want to end up with a long URL that ends with &login.
Do you think that I should use a holding page that sits between the Initial welcome page and the page I want the person to eventually see.
That way the person would have logged on to the DB and the holding page could contain the code to redirect them where I want? Also is there any benefit to be had from using ACL groups as opposed to Roles
I do appeciate your help on this and have upped the points to 200 accordingly, just let me know what you think of this last suggestion and they are yours.
TIA
