Redirect the user to another page in SharePoint 2013/2016/2019/ and SharePoint Online using Javascript CSOM code: Get current logged in user in javascript

<script type=”text/javascript”>

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(init,'sp.js');
var currentLoggedInUser;
function init()
{
this.clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
this.objWeb = clientContext.get_web();
currentLoggedInUser = this.objWeb.get_currentUser();
this.clientContext.load(currentLoggedInUser);
this.clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this,this.onQueryFailed));
}

function onQuerySucceeded()
{
document.getElementById('currentUserLoginName').innerHTML = currentLoggedInUser.get_loginName();
document.getElementById('currentUserEmailID').innerHTML = currentLoggedInUser.get_email();
document.getElementById('currentUserTitle').innerHTML = currentLoggedInUser.get_title();
document.getElementById('currentUserId').innerHTML = currentLoggedInUser.get_id();

/*Once current logged in user is found with the Test1@test.com - this will be redirected to a different page.*/

If(currentLoggedInUser.get_email() =="Test1@test.com")

{
var url= "https://yoursite/sites/sitepages/your_site_page_for_the _dedicated user.aspx";
window.location = url;

}

}

function onQueryFailed(sender, args)
{
alert('Request failed. \nError: ' + args.get_message() + '\nStackTrace: ' + args.get_stackTrace());
}

</script>

 
<div>Current Logged-In User Information: 
<span id="currentUserLoginName"></span></br>
<span id="currentUserEmailID"></span></br>
<span id="currentUserTitle"></span></br> 
<span id="currentUserId"></span></br> 
</div>

Explanation about the “Redirect the user to another page in SharePoint 2013/2016/2019/ and SharePoint Online using Javascript CSOM code”:

In the above code, I have a user say named “Test1” and created a “testhomepageforTest1User.aspx” site page. The scenario is, that when all users logged into the SharePoint particular site – they will be landed on the as-usual site home page. However, when the “Test1” user logged in to the SharePoint site – that user should be redirected to the “testhomepageforTest1User.aspx”  page.

So, first get the current logged-in user email in the below line:

currentLoggedInUser.get_email()

Then, checking whether currentLoggedInUser.get_email() ==”Test1@test.com”, if yes – redirect that user to “testhomepageforTest1User.aspx” page.

/*Once current logged in user is found with the Test1@test.com - this will be redirected to a different page.*/

If(currentLoggedInUser.get_email() =="Test1@test.com")

{
var url= "https://yoursite/sites/sitepages/your_site_page_for_the _dedicated user.aspx";
window.location = url;

}

Note:

• If you are using SharePoint Online, you can directly use the _spPageContextInfo.userLoginName global variable to get the logged-in user login name.
