FlowRouter defaulted redirect to the landing page - meteor

Question

I am trying to have protected routes like these: 1). loggedin user group routes 2.) admin routes, 3.) student routes, 4.) public routes. The LoggedInUser works as expected but the 2 other routes - schooladmin and students does not work as needed.
After logging in as an admin or as a student, according to the expectation the respective users should be able to go to the allowed urls but whenever, as an example, if a schooladmin admin goes to http://localhost/students it automatically redirects back to dashboard, and likewise for student. What am I to do right?
This route group allows only logged in users.
var LoggedInUser = FlowRouter.group({
name: 'currentUser', triggersEnter: [function (context, redirect) {
if (Meteor.loggingIn() || Meteor.userId()) {
FlowRouter.watchPathChange();
let currentRoute = FlowRouter.current();
if (!currentRoute.path) {
FlowRouter.go('/dashboard');
} else {
FlowRouter.go(currentRoute.path);
}
} else {
redirect('/');
}
}]
});
This is the route group for school admins
var schooladmin = LoggedInUser.group({
name: 'schooladmins', triggersEnter: [function (context, redirect) {
FlowRouter.watchPathChange();
let currentRoute = FlowRouter.current();
if (Roles.userIsInRole(Meteor.userId(), ['super-admin', 'admin'])) {
console.log(currentRoute.path);
FlowRouter.go(currentRoute.path);
} else {
redirect('dashboard');
}
}]
});
This is the route for students
var students = LoggedInUser.group({
name: 'students', triggersEnter:[function (context, redirect) {
FlowRouter.watchPathChange();
let currentRoute = FlowRouter.current();
if (Roles.userIsInRole(Meteor.userId(), ['manage-team', 'student-page'])) {
FlowRouter.go(currentRoute.path);
} else {
redirect('dashboard');
}
}]
});
Sample routes the groups are attached to
This sample route is for school admins only to access
schooladmin.route('/students', {
name: 'students', action(){
BlazeLayout.render('formrender', {formrend: 'student'});
}
});
this route is for student to access
students.route('/student/dashboard', {
name: 'students-dashboard', action(){
BlazeLayout.render('studentlayout', {studentrender: 'studentdashboard'});
}
});

The Roles package actually depends on a subscription, which means that if the subscription is not ready the Roles.userIsInRole method will always return false. And then your route fails, because FlowRouter always runs no matter what. This happens in very specific cases, but it happens and your users will notice.
Fortunately there is now a fix. We can have full control over when FlowRouter initializes.
There are 2 ways to achieve this.
Just above FlowRouter Declaration use Accounts.onLogin(function(user){}); method to check role and then redirect. (check user._id for Roles)
