Customizable alert on redirect to home page for unauthorized users #19

Open ssheilah opened 5 years ago

When a user tries to log in to a page and are unauthorized, they are redirected to the website's homepage with no explanation. The lack of explanation is confusing to the user.

In testing, the students didn't realize they hadn't been able to access the test page after login; they thought the homepage was their actual destination and said the test was successful.

We should be able to add an alert or other kind of notification to let the user know they were unauthorized and where to go for help if needed.
