Send administrators directly to the right backend area
Not every administrator needs to see the full Joomla dashboard after logging in. Quick Admin Redirect automatically sends selected users to the area they actually need.
You can define which Joomla component or custom URL should be opened after a successful backend login for each selected user.
This allows editors, shop employees and other administrators to reach their tasks immediately without navigating through the backend menu first.
The redirect only applies to users selected in the plugin settings. All other administrators continue to use the Joomla backend as usual.
