Backend: Make authorisation middleware for admin role

[anand-harsh]

Issue

As anyone can add course to playlist or remove it from playlist, so we do not want this full authority to be given to users

Solution

1. Make a middleware "adminAuthorisation" for the admin with role.
2. If user is having role "admin" then only he can perform the task of addition or deletion.
3. if any user without admin role tries to do the task then return "Not Allowed" with 403 status code.
4. Add middlewares to " /createcourse" and POST request for " /course/:id"

@anand-harsh It should be get request rather than post?

@anand-harsh It should be get request rather than post?

We are not making crud operation here so no need of post or get. We are making middleware which will be later used in get or post request routes to limit the access of normal user to that route.

Here what you can do is, take token from cookie, decode that token to get id, check the role for that id, if the role of that id is admin, return next() else return ErrorHandler("cant access") with a status code.

Hope you get it
