Implementing multi-role access in Laravel and Jetstream

Question

I'm working on a school web app project using Laravel and Jetstream, which requires three different user roles: admin, instructor, and student. Each role should have a unique dashboard upon login. However, I'm unsure how to implement multiple authentication and routing for these roles. So far, I've installed Laravel and Jetstream but haven't made further progress. I've tried learning from YouTube tutorials but still find it challenging to start. Any expert guidance would be appreciated. Please note that English is not my first language.

Redirect Using Auth Middleware: In app/Http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticated.php, update the handle method as follows:

      public function handle($request, Closure $next, ...$guards)
{
    $guards = empty($guards) ? [null] : $guards;

    foreach ($guards as $guard) {
        if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
            $user = Auth::user();

            if ($user->isAdmin()) {
                return redirect('/admin_panel');
            } elseif ($user->isEditor()) {
                return redirect('/editor_panel');
            } elseif ($user->isUser()) {
                return redirect('/user_panel');
            }
        }
    }

    return $next($request);
}

After following these steps, users will be redirected to the relevant dashboard according to their roles after logging in. Note, however, that you may need to adjust the user roles and which dashboard they should be redirected to according to your application.
