sign in method didn't return role

why does not data return the role of the user from the database? (i want to navigate to admin dashboard or user dashboard according to role) sign in page

    const { data, error } = await authClient.signIn.email(
      {
        email,
        password,
      },
      fetchCallback({ setIsLoading })
    );
    console.log("data", data);
    // it should navigate according to role 
  }

    const { data, error } = await authClient.signIn.email(
      {
        email,
        password,
      },
      fetchCallback({ setIsLoading })
    );
    console.log("data", data);
    // it should navigate according to role 
  }

signIn only returns a minimal set of the user object. If you need the full user object, use getSession instead.
For navigation, I recommend using middleware. Alternatively, after navigating to the user dashboard, you can redirect them to a different page based on their session role.

it was mentioned that middleware in nextjs wasnt designed for the purpose of handeling heavy session procedures
