php - Laravel Roles and authentication to routes -

i looking archive the following

userlogs in -> assigned privilege db -> can see allowed routes only

so far have been able reach here:

$user = usercredential::where('username','=',auth::user()->username)->get();  foreach ($user $u ) {          $status = $u->userstatus;         $userpriv = $u->userpriviledge;          if ($status == 0){                              session::put('user_priv',$userpriv);             }         else{                     return redirect::to_route('home')->with('message','inactive users cannot login');             } 

which checks status of user if active or inactive stores priviledge in session. next? how protect routes?

thanks
