Difference between 'web' and 'auth' middleware?

I have faced some problem when i am going to use middleware group of Laravel 5.2 framework.

My routes.php file is:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'categories'], function () {
    Route::get('all', ['as' => 'allCategory' , 'uses' => 'CategoryController@index']);
    Route::get('add', ['as' => 'addCategory', 'uses' => 'CategoryController@create']);
    Route::get('edit/{id}', ['as' => 'editCategory', 'uses' => 'CategoryController@edit']);
    Route::post('save', ['as' => 'saveCategory', 'uses' => 'CategoryController@store']);
    Route::put('update', ['as' => 'updateCategory', 'uses' => 'CategoryController@update']);
    Route::get('delete/{id}', ['as' => 'deleteCategory', 'uses' => 'CategoryController@destroy']);

});

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {

    Route::get('/', function () {
        return view('welcome');
    });

    Route::auth();
    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');

});

I am using here laravel defaults login/registration authentication.Using php artisan make:auth command.I want to give user restricted for some routes such as categories route group.So,

  1. How can i restrict a user for categories route group?
  2. If i use Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth']], function () { }); then i got an error. So what is the difference between 'web' and 'auth' middleware ?

Thanks.

N.B : If you need to know about any files then just comment me below i will add those files.

This is a feature of laravel 5.2. 2 default middleware is web and api.

You need place category group route inside web middleware.

Web middleware make your request contains cookies, session, csrf_token used for authentication. Otherwise, api middleware used for application that simple query get or post without request header, assume mobile app.

Auth middleware based on web middleware.
