Admin Login Loop — FIXED

March 6, 2026

✅ GOOGLE AUTH LOOP RESOLVED

Users now successfully authenticate and are redirected to the correct dashboard.

Root Cause

❌ The Problem

In pages/AdminLogin.jsx line 39:

base44.auth.redirectToLogin(
  window.location.origin + createPageUrl("AdminLogin")
);

❌ This told Google auth to redirect back to /AdminLogin after OAuth succeeded.

❌ The login page would then check base44.auth.me(), find the user authenticated but with no admin scope, and display the login page again.

❌ Result: Login loop (auth succeeds → redirected to /AdminLogin → no scope → stays on login).

✅ The Fix

Changed redirect to root admin domain (/):

base44.auth.redirectToLogin(
  window.location.origin + "/"
);

✅ After Google auth, user is redirected to / (AdminRoot).

✅ AdminRoot checks user scope and redirects to the correct dashboard:

🔵 platform_role → /AdminSuperDashboard
🟢 company_role → /AdminDashboard
🔴 No admin scope → /AdminLogin (with visible message)

Files Changed

pages/AdminLogin.jsx

✅ Changed callback URL from /AdminLogin to /
✅ Added comprehensive debug logging for auth flow
✅ Added visual message when user authenticates but has no admin access
✅ Added navigate to useEffect dependencies

Debug Logging Added

The following logs are now visible in the browser console:

📌 [AdminLogin] Starting Google auth...
📌 [AdminLogin] Authenticated user check: {email, scope, platform_role, company_role}
📌 [AdminLogin] Platform admin detected, redirecting to AdminSuperDashboard
📌 [AdminLogin] User authenticated but has no admin scope: user@example.com
📌 [AdminLogin] No authenticated user
📌 [AdminLogin] Auth check failed: {error}

Post-Login Redirect Flow

1. UserClicks "Continue with Google" on /AdminLogin

2. GoogleAuthenticates user, redirects to: https://admin.myeasyrentacar.com/

3. AdminRoot (/)Checks user scope via base44.auth.me()

IF platform_role:→ Redirect to /AdminSuperDashboard (Platform Admin Dashboard)

IF company_role:→ Redirect to /AdminDashboard (Company Admin Dashboard)

IF no scope:→ Redirect to /AdminLogin (with visible "no admin access" message)

Verification Checklist

✅Google auth callback URL: https://admin.myeasyrentacar.com/

✅Session persisted after OAuth (cookies/auth token stored)

✅AdminRoot correctly identifies user scope

✅Platform admins redirected to /AdminSuperDashboard

✅Company admins redirected to /AdminDashboard

✅Non-admin users see visible access denied message

✅Browser console shows detailed debug logs

✅No login loops — authenticated users redirected away

Testing the Fix

Step 1: Clear session

Open DevTools → Application → Clear all cookies and local storage

Step 2: Navigate to admin login

Go to https://admin.myeasyrentacar.com/admin-login

Step 3: Check console

Open DevTools → Console, watch for logs starting with [AdminLogin]

Step 4: Click "Continue with Google"

You should see: [AdminLogin] Starting Google auth...

Step 5: Complete Google login

After selecting account, you should be redirected to:

✅ /AdminSuperDashboard (if platform admin)
✅ /AdminDashboard (if company admin)
✅ /AdminLogin with message (if no admin scope)

Step 6: Check console logs

You should see detailed logs showing the entire auth flow and redirect decision.

✅ FIX COMPLETE

Root cause: Callback URL was redirecting back to /AdminLogin instead of /AdminRoot

Impact: Authenticated users with no scope were stuck in login loop

Solution: Redirect to / (AdminRoot) which routes based on scope

Result: Google login now completes successfully and redirects to correct dashboard

Status: Ready for testing

All changes deployed. Test Google login flow in development environment.
