Your middleware is currently set for 3 arguments while using and you are passing only 2 arguments..
Show me your middleware code here and tell me the relationship that you are using for users and roles

Passing parameters with middleware groups?
So...I'm using Laravel 12. I know that if you have plain ol' middleware, you can pass a parameter by doing this in your routes:
Route::get('/admin/users', [App\Http\Controllers\UserController::class, 'index'])->name('users.index')->middleware(RoleMiddleware::class . ':Admin');
But what if I have a group, and I call that group "roles"??? According to the docs, I'd do something like this:
Route::get('/admin/users', [App\Http\Controllers\UserController::class, 'index'])->name('users.index')->middleware('roles);
Or even:
Route::middleware(['roles'])->group(function() { // but the docs fail to explain how to translate the above to this }
One person suggested I do this:
Route::middleware(['roles', 'role:Admin'])->get('/admin/users', [App\Http\Controllers\UserController::class, 'index'])->name('users.index');
If I try that suggestion, I get the "Too few arguments" problem (2 passed in, 3 expected)
How do I do this??

Well, yeah, I know it's currently set up for 3 arguments. I'm trying to figure out how to actually pass the third one -- It works if I take the middleware out of the group and use it individually -- I just can't figure out how to do it when it's in the group.
/* Middleware code: */
namespace App\Http\Middleware; use Closure; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
class RoleMiddleware { public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next, $role): Response { if (!$request->user->userHasRole($role) { abort(403, 'Unauthorized'); }
return $next($request);
}
}
/* Relationship, in the Role model (pardon the pun): */
public function users() { return $this->belongsToMany(User::class); }
/* Relationship in the User model */
public function roles() { return $this->belongsToMany(Role::class); }
Level 1
That works, but how would I send it to the entire "roles" group? (or would that be redundant at this point?)
Please or to participate in this conversation.
