In app\Http\Controllers\LoginController.php you can do something like this:

public function redirectTo() {
  $role = auth()->user()->role; 
  switch ($role) {
    case 'admin':
      return '/admin_dashboard';
      break;
    case 'user':
      return '/user_dashboard';
      break; 

    default:
      return '/home'; 
    break;
  }
}

Make sure you remove the line of: protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;. In Laravel, you can either have redirectTo be a variable OR a function, but not both. By making it a function, you can redirect the user where they need to go based on their role.
