<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Closure;


class RedirectIfNotAManager
{


    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if(!$request->user()->isATeamManager())
        {

            return redirect('articles');

                                    CanResetPasswordContract
{
    use Authenticatable, Authorizable, CanResetPassword;

That means that your request doesn't have a user stored on it. So no one is logged in or your session isn't working correctly. $request->user() is a function that runs to try to pull the current user, by default if someone is logged in it will return a user object or a null value I believe. So most likely you are getting a null value back. You could change your if statement to this:

if(!$request->user() || !$request->user()->isATeamManager()) {

i got the solution..

This is working!!
public function handle($request, Closure $next) { if ($request->user()) { // This will return null if the user is not logged in, which evaluates to false

       if (!$request->user()->isATeamManager()) {

            return redirect('articles');
        }
    }

    return $next($request);
}

}
