Describe the bug
Currently, there is a significant security flaw where the admin page can be accessed via URL without requiring login credentials. This flaw enables unauthorized users to access sensitive data and potentially tamper with it.
To Reproduce
Enter the URL for the admin page directly into the browser.
The admin page loads without prompting for login credentials, granting unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Expected behavior
Access to the admin page should be restricted to authorized users only. Users attempting to access the admin page should be required to provide valid login credentials.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
OS: Window 10
Browser Chrome
Version 22
Additional context
This security flaw poses a significant risk as it allows unauthorized users to access and potentially tamper with sensitive data. To address this issue, I propose implementing a session-based system where access to the admin page is granted only if the user's session is active and authenticated. If the session is inactive or not authenticated, users should be redirected to the signup page or admin login page to prevent unauthorized access.
Solution Suggestion
Implementation of Session Management:
Implement session-based authentication to track user sessions.
When a user accesses the admin page, the system checks the status of the user's session.
If the session is active and authenticated, grant access to the admin page.
If the session is inactive or not authenticated, redirect the user to the signup page or admin login page to log in and establish a valid session.
Enhanced Access Controls:
Strengthen access controls to ensure that only authorized users with valid login credentials can access the admin page.
Implement role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict access based on user roles and permissions, ensuring that only privileged users can perform administrative tasks.

I think it's probably a good idea to have the admin page check if the user has sufficient permission. On develop.yml, for example, "everyone" is an admin with the default setup. When security is on and users are added this is different. We have a somewhat strange route for this kind of purpose (http://localhost:4010/data/user/wcido)
