Authentication and Authorisation with ExpressJS

We will put together everything you have learned here. When creating software, we want to safeguard our clients’ online safety. As a standard practice, we write authentication and authorisation algorithms.
We will be creating a simplified user membership system that has 2 distinct users – the member and the administrator. The platform will also allow anyone to register and login. When the member logs in, they will be able to amend their profile and data that the platform collects. On the other hand, the administrator will be able to log in and amend everyone’s information and data. They will have access to everyone’s data. We will be placing our authentication and authorisation algorithms into this project as well to protect our users’ data and prevent unauthorised logins.
Through this project, you will be able to identify the areas where authentication and authorisation is utilised. Without further ado, let us get started!
