Problem: After successful login with admin credentials, users were not being redirected to the admin dashboard at /admin/dashboard.
Root Cause: Routing mismatch - Login page redirects to /dashboard but the Admin Dashboard component is configured with routes /admin and /admin/dashboard.
Solution: Modified the generic Dashboard component to detect Admin users and redirect them to the admin-specific dashboard.
The system has TWO dashboard components:
-
Generic Dashboard (
/src/InsightLearn.WebAssembly/Pages/Dashboard.razor)- Route:
/dashboard - Purpose: Student/Instructor dashboards
- Behavior: Shows course enrollment stats
- Route:
-
Admin Dashboard (
/src/InsightLearn.WebAssembly/Pages/Admin/Dashboard.razor)- Routes:
/adminand/admin/dashboard - Purpose: Admin-specific monitoring and management
- Features: User stats, revenue, quick actions, recent activity
- Routes:
Login Flow Issue:
1. User logs in at /login
2. Login.razor (line 186): Navigation.NavigateTo("/dashboard", true)
3. User arrives at generic Dashboard, NOT admin dashboard
4. Generic Dashboard tries to load admin data but shows student UI
Modified: /src/InsightLearn.WebAssembly/Pages/Dashboard.razor
protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
{
// NEW: Check if user is Admin and redirect to admin dashboard
var isAdmin = await AuthService.IsInRoleAsync("Admin");
if (isAdmin)
{
Navigation.NavigateTo("/admin/dashboard", true);
return;
}
await LoadDashboard();
}This ensures Admin users are automatically redirected to their proper dashboard.
-
GET /api/admin/dashboard/stats(Line 997)- Returns: TotalUsers, TotalCourses, TotalEnrollments, TotalRevenue
- Authorization: RequireRole("Admin")
- Status: ✅ Fully implemented
-
GET /api/admin/dashboard/recent-activity(Line 1063)- Returns: Recent system activities with pagination
- Authorization: RequireRole("Admin")
- Status: ✅ Fully implemented
- AdminDashboardService: ✅ Implemented
- IAdminDashboardService: ✅ Interface defined
- DashboardStats model: ✅ Created
- RecentActivity model: ✅ Created
/src/InsightLearn.WebAssembly/Pages/Dashboard.razor- Added Admin role check in OnInitializedAsync()
- Redirects Admin users to
/admin/dashboard - Removed redundant Admin check from LoadDashboard()
-
/src/InsightLearn.WebAssembly/Pages/Admin/Dashboard.razor- Admin dashboard fully implemented
- Proper routing configured
- UI components working
-
/src/InsightLearn.WebAssembly/Pages/Login.razor- Login logic correct
- Redirects to
/dashboard(as expected)
-
/src/InsightLearn.Application/Program.cs- Admin API endpoints implemented
- Proper authorization configured
-
Build the Docker image (already done):
docker build -f Dockerfile.web -t localhost/insightlearn/web:fix-dashboard . -
Tag as latest:
docker tag localhost/insightlearn/web:fix-dashboard localhost/insightlearn/web:latest
-
Import to K3s (requires sudo):
sudo sh -c 'docker save localhost/insightlearn/web:latest | /usr/local/bin/k3s ctr images import -' -
Update Kubernetes deployment:
kubectl rollout restart deployment/insightlearn-web -n insightlearn
Run the provided script:
./deploy-dashboard-fix.sh- Press
Ctrl+Shift+R(Windows/Linux) orCmd+Shift+R(Mac) - Or use Incognito/Private browsing mode
- Navigate to:
https://www.insightlearn.cloud/login - Enter admin credentials:
- Email:
admin@insightlearn.cloud - Password:
Admin123!@#
- Email:
- Click "Sign In"
✅ Successful Flow:
- Login successful toast notification
- Immediate redirect to
/admin/dashboard - Admin Dashboard loads with:
- Dashboard header "Admin Dashboard"
- Stats cards (Users, Courses, Enrollments, Revenue)
- Quick Actions buttons
- Recent Activity section
❌ If Still Not Working:
- Check browser console (F12) for errors
- Verify JWT token in localStorage:
localStorage.getItem('auth_token') - Check network tab for 401/403 errors
Test the backend endpoints directly:
# Get your JWT token from browser localStorage
TOKEN="your_jwt_token_here"
# Test stats endpoint
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
https://api.insightlearn.cloud/api/admin/dashboard/stats
# Test recent activity endpoint
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
https://api.insightlearn.cloud/api/admin/dashboard/recent-activity?limit=5- Frontend checks:
IsInRoleAsync("Admin") - Backend uses:
RequireRole("Admin") - Ensure role names match exactly (case-sensitive)
- JWT tokens expire after 7 days
- If token expired, user needs to re-login
- ✅ Fixed: No longer blocks login page
- Cookie consent only appears on first visit
Solution:
- Clear localStorage:
localStorage.clear() - Login again
- Check role in JWT token:
JSON.parse(atob(token.split('.')[1]))
Solution:
- Verify deployment updated:
kubectl get pods -n insightlearn - Check pod logs:
kubectl logs -n insightlearn deployment/insightlearn-web
Solution:
- Token may be expired
- Role claim may be missing
- Re-login to get fresh token
The Admin Dashboard login issue has been resolved by:
- ✅ Identifying the routing mismatch
- ✅ Adding automatic Admin detection and redirect
- ✅ Verifying backend API endpoints are working
- ✅ Building and preparing deployment
The fix ensures Admin users are properly redirected to their dedicated dashboard at /admin/dashboard after login, while regular users continue to see the student/instructor dashboard at /dashboard.
- Deploy the fix using the provided script
- Test with actual admin credentials
- Monitor for any edge cases
- Consider adding role-based navigation menu items
