I wanna protect route on nextjs so that only admin user can access it , what's best approach to do that? I was thinking just fetching the user and check it's role, but then the regular user still sees the route exists? what would be better thing to do?

you can do that inside your middleware. Check the permissions inside your middleware and either redirect the user to the notFound page or redirect him to the correct page 👍
