How can I differentiate authentications in the Standard? Example: Administrator and Common User without using multauth

Question

How can I differentiate routes for the same auth? I have a User table and in it I have registered two types of user: admin and common user, both in the User table, with the same attributes.

How can I differentiate between routes that will appear for Adm and for the average user, as each one has access to different things?

You can provide documentation for that case

Answer 1

You can do this through a Middleware.

You can create a middlewareto verify that the current user is of a certain level. So, you can set this middleware on the routes you set and want only the administrator to access.

Exemplifying better, first you must create a middleware.

Turn the command php artisan make:middleware AdminCheck.

It will create a file on app/Http/Middlewares/AdminCheck.php. Then edit it, as in the case below:

class AdminCheck
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if ($request->user()->admin == false) {
            return abort(403, "Acesso não autorizado");
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}

Then you should add this middleware at the Http/Kernel of its application:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // outros middlewares
     'auth.admin' => App\Http\Middleware\AdminCheck::class
];

Next on your routes, you define a group of routes that can be accessed only by this group:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth', 'auth.admin'], function () {
      // Minhas rotas da administração aqui
});

Remarks

In what part $request->user()->admin == false i am doing a check to see if this user has been registered in my database as an administrator. In this case, it is not necessary for you to do as I did, but it is important that you have a way to differentiate an ordinary user from an administrator user. This way you will have to elaborate. I am commenting on this because in your question you quote that they are registered "admin and common user, both in the User table, with the same attributes.".
