Filament Shield: 403 Forbidden on Production but Works Fine Locally

Hi everyone, I need some help regarding an issue I’ve been facing with Filament Shield in a Laravel project.

We’re using Filament Shield to handle permissions for our admin panel. On local development, everything works perfectly. After migrating the database, I run:

php artisan shield:install


It prompts me to input name, email, and password for a super admin user. Once that's done, I can log in and access all admin resources via /admin as expected.

However, in production, I followed the exact same steps:

Run php artisan migrate

Run php artisan shield:install (filled in user details)


Login using the generated user

But when I try to access /admin, I get a 403 Forbidden error.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the role/permission assignment or caching, but I’m not sure.
