Hey, I want to make a page that only accessible with the admin role, in the pages version i could simply use getServerSideProps but the app directory doesnt have that option.
how can i access the req property?
I saw i can use the middleware file, but it seems bad to make just one file for that in the base directory just for one route.

The reason im not using the headers and cookies is because im accessing the user object through nextConnect & session:
await router.run(req, res
req.user // the user objectYou answered yourself. You can’t get the request object within a normal server component. Only the cookies and headers. The only and normally best way is to use a middleware to access that
