How to disable users from accessing previous page by browser back button after logout in angularjs application?

You can disable access to previous page using 2 ways: 1. use $stateChangeStart, this method invoke whenever the state is changed, look for token, if token is not found, redirect user to login.2. use resolve: resolve will get call before routing happens for the respective state, so inside resolve

Method1:

$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', 
function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){         
    // check if user is navigating to anypage other than login, if so check for token, if token is not present redirect to login page        
});

Method2:

$stateProvider.state("dashboard", {      
  resolve: { 
  // check if user is navigating to anypage other than login, if so check for token, if token is not present redirect to login page by using defer 
  }
})

You can implement something similar to have access control over different content. Please be aware that you also have to secure your backend.

Where you define your states for the ui.router, you can add user defined data. For example:

angular.module("app", ['ui.router']).config(['$stateProvider', function($stateProvider){
    $stateProvider.state('yourSecureState', {
                    url: '/secure-state',
                    templateUrl: '/app/views/secure.html',
                    controller: 'SecureStateController',
                    data: {
                        accessLevel: "secured-feature",
                        title: 'Secured State'
                    }
                });
}]);

With this additional information, you can check in your authentication service if the required access level is available:

angular.module('app').factory('AuthService', ['$rootScope', function($rootScope){
    $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (event, nextState) {
            if (nextState.data && nextState.data.accessLevel && !service.isAuthorized(nextState.data.accessLevel)) {
                event.preventDefault();
                alert("Not Authorized");
            }
        });

    var service = {
       isAuthorized: function(accessLevel) {
            //your code here:
       }
    };

    return service;
}]);

In this mdn article there's explained how to manipulate the browser history:

On one of my older projects I used this to create a "to previous page" button.

app.config(["$routeProvider", function($routeProvider) {
            return $routeProvider.when("/", {
                redirectTo: "/login"
            }).when("/dashboard", {
                templateUrl: "views/dashboard.html"
            }).when("/login", {
                templateUrl: "views/login.html"
            }).when("/pages/openAcc", {
                templateUrl: "views/pages/openAcc.html"
            }).when("/pages/docUpload", {
                templateUrl: "views/pages/docUpload.html"
            }).when("/pages/listview", {
                templateUrl: "views/pages/listview.html"
            }).otherwise({
                redirectTo: "/404"
            })
        }])    .run(function($rootScope, $location) {
                    $rootScope.$on("$routeChangeStart", function (event, next, current) {
                        if (!(next.templateUrl == "views/login.html")) {
                            $location.path("/login");
                        }
                    })
                })
