401 Please authenticate while attempting to add new movie or new cinema as an admin

[henno]

1. Register a user
2. In MongoDB, update user's role to admin
3. Log in with this user again
4. Go to User > Dashboard > Movies
5. Add new movie

Expected:
New movie is added

Actual:
Nothing seems to happen but in Network tab you will see that the POST request to add new movie resulted in 401 please authenticate message.

Why this is happening?
Why this "Please authenticate error is not shown on the page"?

As I found out by taking a loot at the source code, you have to set the role 'superadmin' in the database. Unfortunately, there are several other software breaking bugs which make the software unusable.
