This module compliments more popular and better known Login Toboggan and Login/Logout Destinations. It performs similar functions, but is specifically targeted at sites, running Spaces and Organic Groups.

The typical use of Spaces and Organic Groups is to segregate sections of the site and associate users with these sections. It is not unusual to use Spaces and Organic Groups to create an appearance of multiple, independently running sites on top of single Drupal deployment. In doing so, site owners often encounter a problem, related to user's login/logout experience: the standard Drupal implementation takes users to user's profile page upon login and takes to the home page of the overall site upon logout. This module provides a feature, which, if enabled within given space and organic group, alters the flow as follows:

a. The user visited a page within the organic group and he/she is not logged in, while the page requires login. After successful login the user is taken to the home page for the space/group.

b. The user is logged in and clicks the logout link on a page within the organic group - after the logout she or he will be taken to the home page for that organic group.

The net effect of these two flows is that the user is kept within the organic group throughout his/her experience and never taken to other organic groups or overall site home, unless there are links, specifically pointing there.

It is in the plans to add a configuration option that would allow enabling or disabling the login and logout parts of the functionality separately. At present it is all or nothing.
