README

Vima PHP is a powerful, flexible, and developer-friendly access control library for PHP. This package provides the official bridge for CodeIgniter 4, enabling seamless integration of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) into your CI4 applications.

Key Features

• Seamless CI4 Integration: Works out of the box with CodeIgniter 4 services and filters.
• RBAC & ABAC support: Combine static roles with dynamic, context-aware policies.
• Declarative Setup: Manage your roles and permissions via configuration.
• Command Line Support: Generate policies and manage access via spark.
• Easy-to-use Helpers: Check permissions using the can() helper.

Installation
