Technologies used:

Timeline
Set up project structure using Express. Configured MongoDB and created a User model with Mongoose.
Built authentication routes for login and signup. Implemented session using express-session and connect-mongo.
Created a protected dashboard route that only works after login. Designed views using EJS templates.
Implemented role support in users and created a middleware to protect admin-only routes. Admins now have access to /admin while normal users are denied.
