Implementing User-Role Based Protected Routes (Pages) using Next.js & AppWrite: Seeking Guidance

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Next.js, so please bear with me as I'm still in the process of familiarizing myself with the documentation.
I'm looking to create a web app where I can secure specific routes (pages) based on user roles.
Consider this straightforward use case:
- If a user is not logged in, they should only be able to access the landing page.
- Once logged in, a user gains access to a dashboard.
- For users with the role "Moderator" in addition to being logged in, they should be able to access the same dashboard plus an additional protected page that regular users cannot access.
I'd appreciate any guidance or examples on how to implement this within the Next.js framework.
Thank you in advance!

I gathered some ideas on google mentionning Json Web Tokens, middleware or even this https://builtwith.appwrite.io/projects/645ce5e378593e15fcd1/

I recommend following that way. It's possible with JWT too but that's more recommended and is probably more straightforward than relying on JWT
