Admin Middleware and Getting Users Endpoint

The video tutorial explains how to create middleware to protect certain routes for admin users only. It demonstrates setting up a 'get users' route that is accessible only to admins, using Postman for testing. The tutorial covers adding authorization checks in the middleware, testing access with different user roles, and preparing for frontend integration to manage user roles and permissions.
