Using Drupal 6.19
We have a generic member's login for group members with password and user based on a current newsletter publication but this does not facilitate different pages depending on user.
In our system certain users each have a role/responsibility.
6 coordinators who input calendar events for their particular State or Region. 6 coordinators update page displays for their State or Territory 12 reviewers who each review one of the above and approve or not, but do not have editing permissions. None of the above have admin permission. Permissions are tight and only for the explicit role.
It is intended that the menus for each will provide only: Create content, edit, review, approve, send back, unpublish as appropriate for the role.
The coordinator can see the page he/she is working on, but must be able to see the 'as if live' page before submitting it. Primarily because the cck editor does not present good representation of a live preview. The reviewer receives notification, views the completed page 'as if' it were live and approves/publishes or sends back for editing.
Each of the above has their own user name and password. A reviewer for a particular region would use for example, 'reviewer-victoria' as the user name 'some_password' as the password
Question: How can I set up a log in for each role so that it presents the appropriate log in page and menu, specific to that user login? The menu system I think I can do ok but I cannot find how to present the correct login page per user.
Thanks in advance Roger
You might investigate using the rules module to do this http://drupal.org/project/rules, which can respond to user roles.

If I'm following correctly what you're looking for, a simple solution with no extra modules could be to create landing pages for each role which include login blocks and whatever else you want, filtered by URL (/memberlogin/reviewer). Of course, once logged in it's easy to filter blocks (with menus) by role. It's pre-login that's not so easy, because the users do not have roles at that time.
