Not trivial...

You can send them to a (protected) Python Script (maybe one that bind
"traversal_subpath").
The Python Script looks at the user (his roles) and
redirects as necessary.

This is good for a single entry point.
If your "redirection" should work all over the site,
you need the "traversal_subpath" binding and use
some form of "restrictedTraverse" to reach the final
object.

Some background reading may be adequate: the Zope Book or
