Identify routes that need to be protected

[firepenguindisopanda]

As a backend developer
I need to identify routes that need to be protected
So that only authorized users can access sensitive resources

Details and Assumptions

• Some routes in the application handle sensitive data or perform restricted actions.
• These routes should only be accessible to authenticated or authorized users.
• The authentication system is already in place and can be integrated with the route protection.
• Unauthorized users should be redirected or receive an error when attempting to access protected routes.
• Different roles might have different levels of access (admin, student)

Acceptance Criteria

Given a set of routes that handle sensitive operations
When an unauthorized user attempts to access a protected route
Then the user should be denied access and receive a 401 or 403 error

Given a set of routes that handle sensitive operations
When an authenticated but unauthorized user attempts to access a restricted route
Then the user should be denied access and receive a 403 error

Given a set of routes that handle sensitive operations
When an authorized user with the correct role attempts to access the protected route
Then the user should be granted access and the operation is performed
