Laravel 5.2 and `Zizaco/entrust` : How to control role's access to different path?

Question

I am using Laravel 5.2 and Zizaco/entrust 5.2.x .
How to control role's access to different path?
For example:
The route of admin is like this:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    Route::auth();
    Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin','namespace' => 'Admin'], function () {
        Route::resource('dashboard', 'DashboardController');
     });
});

I would want that the role admin can access http://www.example.com/admin/dashboard/ ,
other roles cann't access it, What should I do?

Try laravel's [middleware](https://laravel.com/docs/master/middleware) — Basheer Kharoti, Apr 25 '16 at 17:49

You can check for the admin role in middleware. Since you are using zizaco/entrust you can check the role using hasRole.

Use this code in middleware web.

 public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if (!$user->hasRole('admin')) {
            return redirect('home');//Redirect to any page you wish.
        }
    }
