Redirect based on roles

How to redirect a page after login based on roles

for eg. if admin login he will redirect to admin page and if user login he will redirect to user page

User Table

id  |   name    |   roles   |   password
-----------------------------------------------------------
 1  |   admin   |     a     |   ***********
 2  |   user1   |     u     |   ***********
 3  |   user2   |     u     |   ***********

Is there will be a security problem ..if above solution works?

@Kaustubh For redirection you can use middleware in which you can check if the authenticated user has certain roles and redirect them when appropriate.

Documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/middleware

In the scopre of middlewares I don`t see much of a security issue unless your user registration is comprimised.
