Would you like to have middleware that makes sure that only users with an is_admin = 1 status will be able to see the admin section? Then you can use the following code:
app/Http/Middleware/AdminMiddleware.php
is_admin == 1)
{
return $next($request);
}
return redirect()->guest('/');
}
}
Make sure you’ll register the middleware as a route in app/Http/Kernel.php
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
'admin' => \App\Http\Middleware\AdminMiddleware::class
];
Finally assign this middleware in the routes.php next to the auth middleware, since the admin middleware is an extension to the auth middleware.
App/Http/routes.php
Route::group(['prefix' => 'administration', 'middleware' => ['auth', 'admin']], function()
{
Route::get('/', 'Admin\HomeController@index');
}

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this easy solution to this challenge :).
Have a great weekend!
Useful information
Excellent, thank you.
Very useful. I would like to add one more important step.
@if(\Auth::user()->admin==1)
Logged in as Admin
@else
You are logged in!
@endif
Add this in your home.blade.php to check whether user is admin or guest user.
Undefined index: is_admin
I am using laravel 5.3.
I’ve added adminMiddleware in app/Http/Kernel.php.
protected $routeMiddleware = [
‘auth’ => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
‘auth.basic’ => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
‘bindings’ => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
‘can’ => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
‘guest’ => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
‘throttle’ => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
‘admin’ => \App\Http\Middleware\AdminMiddleware::class,
];
But it doesn’t work.
Error message is
Class ‘App\Http\Middleware\Auth’ not found
What is this?
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
add this on your middleware.
Run composer dump-autoload
protected $middlewareGroups = [
‘web’ => [
\Project1\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
// \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\Project1\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
\Project1\Http\Middleware\AdminMiddleware::class, // HERE YOU NEED TO ADD
],
‘api’ => [
‘throttle:60,1’,
‘bindings’,
],
];
Thank you, buddy, for your suggestion I appreciate your work.
