Handling multiple roles from different keys

[jongbonga]

Hey

I have this structure

user1 = {
    name: 'John',
    department: ['tech', 'operations'],
    tech: { role: 'manager' }
}

user2 = {
    name: 'Steve',
    department: ['hr'],
    hr: { role: 'manager' }
}

My rolesKey is set to department.

I want to allow all to log in regardless of their departments but go to /unauthorized if they don't have the department tech. if they do have it, they will still be unauthorized if they don't have the role of manager or admin

my options look like this

options: {
    rolesKey: "department",
    notFoundRedirect: { path: "/dashboard" },
    forbiddenRedirect: { path: "/unauthorized" }
}

my router meta looks like this

meta: {
  roles: ["manager", "admin"],
  rolesKey: "tech.role"
}

my user2 is logged in but not being redirected anywhere, not even to the forbuddenRedirect. Is there a way of handling this use case? how do I avoid the error properties of undefined (reading 'role') when user2 isn't part of tech and thus can't access the tech.role?

You may just be missing the auth param in your meta object, take a look at the demo routes here:

I've implemented it successfully on different projects. But I get an error when the roleskey tech.role is not available on user object. Some users do have, some don't. Is there a where to check is a key exist for the roleskey?
