I'm not sure if this will apply in your case, but you can write code to respond to specific status codes in AJAX function -

$.ajax({
    url: '/admin/secret/data',
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    statusCode: {
        200: function (data) {
            alert('302: Occurred');
            // Bind the JSON data to the UI
        },
        401: function (data) {
            alert('401: Occurred');
            // Handle the 401 error here.
        }
    }
});
