Redirect admin user to system configuration in custom module

Question

I don't know is it possible or not.

I want to redirect user to system configuration when user logged in to admin.

Is it possible ?

Answer 1

Think something like this was already asked here: how to set start page in backend magento for different role user in magento.

You just have to change adminRedirect() mehtod to fit for your needs, like adjust getUrl('adminhtml/sales_order') to getUrl('adminhtml/system_config/edit/section/yor_tab'). Since you have no check for user role this should be enough for Observer.php:

$response = Mage::app()->getResponse();
$response->clearHeaders()
    ->setRedirect(Mage::helper('adminhtml')->getUrl('adminhtml/system_config'))
    ->sendHeadersAndExit();

Answer from linked question:

There is no native function too achive this.

But you can use admin_session_user_login_success event for this.

To implement magento event observer refer this link

then add event in your config.xml file

<adminhtml>
    <events>
        <admin_session_user_login_success>
            <observers>
                <some_unique_handle>
                    <class>[your_model]/observer</class> 
                    <method>adminRedirect</method>
                </some_unique_handle>
            </observers>
        </admin_session_user_login_success>
    </events>
</adminhtml>

Then add this code in you observer file.

i.e., Path : app/code/{your-codepool}/{namespace}/{module}/Model/Observer.php

public function adminRedirect($observer)
{
    //get admin user id from observer
    $currentUserId = $observer->getuser()->getId();
    //get User Role
    $userRole = Mage::getModel('admin/user')->load($currentUserId)->getRole()->getRoleName();
    if ($userRole == 'sales') {
             // If user role is sales then it'll redirect to the sales order list page
        $response = Mage::app()->getResponse();
        $response->clearHeaders()
            ->setRedirect(Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl('adminhtml/sales_order'))
            ->sendHeadersAndExit();
    }
    return $this;
}
