You should use a different function name in place of "Authorize". This is because "authorize" in controllers is a preserved name used in the parent class Controller.

The Base controller uses Illuminate\Routing\Controller trait which has an 'authorize()' function. Your function declaration is clashing with it. Change your controller method name to anything else(other than 'authorize') and you should be good to go
