Protect users from accessing `/adminDashboard`

[Caleb-Cohen]

Please provide a summary of the feature

Currently admin dashboard can be access using React Router by appending /adminDashboard to the end. We want to prevent users from access adminDashboard. Ideally, it blocks the user on request instead of redirecting them once they land on the page.

Additional context

This is a tough cookie. React router seems a little restrictive with our options considering the current app design.

I'd like to take another look at this, but if I haven't gotten anywhere by the weekend, someone should feel free to pick it up.

When you say "block them" what are you exactly referring to? Do you mean send them to a page that notifies them that only admin's can access that page? That would be considered some form of "blocking"

I've kept it vague as I'm not familiar with all our options. Ideally, un-authorized users will not have access to the /Admindashboard page. Any attempt to access will redirect back to homepage, without accessing any part of the page.
