Hello! Im using nextjs 13 app dir and next auth. I have lots of different routes that require authentication and more specific things like if a user owns that service they are viewing, what would be the best way to do this? Would it be best to just add a check in the page.tsx and route.ts files or is there some way I can use middleware?

I have my app setup like this, was thinking it could be easiest if I could just apply a general requires auth on the (core) routes and pages?

For admin protected pages where I need to have the db user, should I just add a check on each admin page that the user is admin?

2023-09-05T11:04:18.000Z

you could check in middlewire, but you could also do it there

Ah, would you happen to know if I could save like the users prisma id in the next auth token?

2023-09-05T11:06:38.000Z

yeah you can do that

as it seems it only really has email which I can use to fetch the user

but that seems scuffed
