How to make 3 level authentication system in laravel? - php

Question

I have an existing project build with Laravel 5.5. It has a USER login and Admin login. Now I want to add a 3rd authentication AUTHOR login. I have copy pasted admin files in author folder and edited them replacing admin by author . But it's not working even I added author in handle.php and config/auth.
I don't want to use roles.
Here are my codes:
Handler.php
protected function unauthenticated($request, AuthenticationException $exception) {
if ($request->expectsJson()) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthenticated.'], 401);
}
$guard = array_get($exception->guards(),0);
switch ($guard) {
case 'admin':
return redirect()->guest(route('admin.login'));
break;
default:
return redirect()->guest(route('login'));
break;
}
}
protected function unauthenticated($request, AuthenticationException $exception) {
if ($request->expectsJson()) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthenticated.'], 401);
}
$guard = array_get($exception->guards(),0);
switch ($guard) {
case 'author':
return redirect()->guest(route('author.login'));
break;
default:
return redirect()->guest(route('login'));
break;
}
}
Redirectif authenticated
class RedirectIfAuthenticated {
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #param string|null $guard
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null) {
switch ($guard) {
case 'admin':
if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
return redirect('/admin-dashboard');
}
break;
default:
if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
return redirect('/user/dashboard');
}
break;
}
return $next($request);
}
