I have a custom user role that only has access to one CPT.

When the user logs in, they are redirected to the "All CPT" list.

The user closes the window, then later goes to domain.tld/wp-admin/ where they see "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page."

I would like them to be redirected to the "All CPT" list as they are when they login.

Hello,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Toolset, it needs custom codes, here is my suggestion, when user goes to domain.tld/wp-admin/, you can use wordpress action hook admin_init to trigger a custom PHP function
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/admin_init/

In this PHP function, get current user's role
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/5047/how-to-check-if-a-user-is-in-a-specific-role

Then redirect him to the specific URL:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/
