Cannot access current user in controller

See original GitHub issue

I’ve tried the following:

auth()->user();

Auth::user();

All of them are returning null. I’ve tried to add some middleware to the route group:

Route::group([
    'prefix' => 'admin',
    'middleware' => [
        'auth',
        'role:admin,access_backend'
    ]
], function () {
    CRUD::resource('brands', 'Admin\BrandCrudController');
});

Am I missing something?
