rvice userDetailsService) {
this.userDetailsService = userDetailsService;
}

@Bean
public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}

@Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
    auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
}

@Configuration
@Order(1)
public static class ApiWebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.antMatcher("/api/**")
                .authorizeRequests()
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
                .and()
                .httpBasic();
    }
}

@Configuration
public static class FormLoginWebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/admin/**").hasRole("ADMIN")
                .antMatchers("/user/**").hasAnyRole("ADMIN", "USER")
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
                .and()
                .formLogin();
    }
}

}

In the above code, the `FormLoginWebSecurityConfig` class is responsible for securing the admin panel ("/admin/**") and allowing access only to users with the "ADMIN" role. However, when trying to access the admin panel, it shows an "Access Denied" error.

To fix this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Make sure that you have defined a user with the "ADMIN" role in your database or user details service.
2. Check if the user is being authenticated correctly by adding a breakpoint or logging statements in your `UserDetailsService` implementation.
3. Verify that the `hasRole("ADMIN")` expression is matching the role assigned to the user correctly. You can also try using `hasAuthority("ADMIN")` instead.
4. Ensure that the request URL matches the pattern specified in the `antMatchers` method. For example, if you are trying to access "/admin/dashboard", make sure that it matches the pattern "/admin/**".
5. Check if there are any other security configurations or interceptors that might be conflicting with this configuration.
6. If you are using a custom login form, make sure that the form action URL is correct and matches the one specified in your `configure(HttpSecurity http)` method.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "Access Denied" issue and access the admin panel successfully.```
