README

SimplePermission is a simple authorization package for Laravel. It is designed with Laravel 10, but may work with other versions. With this package, Roles and Permissions are added to your Laravel application, so you can easily manage authorization.

Installation

  1. Install the package via composer:

    composer require lcloss/simple-permission
  2. Publish the config file:

    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lcloss\SimplePermission\SimplePermissionServiceProvider"
  3. Compile assets:

    npm run build
  4. Run the migrations:

    php artisan migrate
  5. Add the HasRoles trait to your User model:

    use Lcloss\SimplePermission\Models\Traits\HasRoles;
    
    class User extends Authenticatable
    {
        use HasRoles;
    }
  6. Add the AuthGates middleware to your app\Http\Kernel.php file:

    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            // ...
            \Lcloss\SimplePermission\Http\Middleware\AuthGates::class,
        ],
    
        'api' => [
            // ...
            \Lcloss\SimplePermission\Http\Middleware\AuthGates::class,
        ],
    ];
  7. Add the role to the user If you are using Laravel Fortify, you can chane App\Actions\Fortify\CreateNewUser.php file:

    use Lcloss\SimplePermission\Models\Role;
    
    class CreateNewUser
    {
        // ...
        public function create(array $input)
        {
            // ...
            // If you are getting the first and last names:
            $name = trim($input['first_name'] . ' ' . $input['last_name']);
    
            DB::beginTransaction();
    
            $user = User::create([
                'name'      => $name,
                'email'     => $input['email'],
                'password'  => Hash::make($input['password']),
            ]);
    
            $countUsers = User::count();
    
            if ( $countUsers == 1 ) {
                $role = Role::where('slug', 'sysadmin')->first();
            } else {
                $role = Role::where('slug', 'user')->first();
            }
            $user->roles()->attach($role);
    
            DB::commit();
    
            return $user;
        }
    }

    With the configuration above, the first user created will be a sysadmin, and the others will be user.

  8. Other considerations

Check package blade files. You can use your own blade files by replacing the blade file names in config/simple-permission.php file. Do not forget to:

a) Add @liwewireStyles() and @livewireScripts() to your layout file. b) Add @yield('scripts') to your layout file. c) Add @yield('modals') to the end of body, on the layout file.

Configuration

You can change this package's configuration by editing the config/simple-permission.php file.

Database Seeder

This package comes with a database seeder that creates the default roles and permissions. You can run it with the following command:

php artisan db:seed --class=SimplePermissionSeeder

Or, you can run individual seeders:

php artisan db:seed --class=SimplePermissionRoleSeeder
php artisan db:seed --class=SimplePermissionPermissionSeeder

Roles and Permissions

Roles

This package cames with default roles: 'sysadmin', 'admin', 'premium-user', 'user' and 'free-user'.

Each role has a single identification slug and a level to determine the role's hierarchy. Roles with level 1 are the highest level roles, and roles with level 300 are the lowest level roles. All roles with level 1 get access to all permissions.

You can customize the roles by editing the database\seeders\SimplePermissionRoleSeeder.php file.

Permissions

Permissions follows the structure of access, list and CRUD operations (create, read, update and delete). Tipically access permisison is used to allow access to a resource, list permission is used to allow listing the resource, and CRUD permissions are used to allow operations on the resource.

A permission is composed by an object and an action, delimited by a _ character. An object is a resource, like users, roles, permissions, posts or comments. An action is an operation on the resource, like access, list, create, read, update or delete.

So, the permission users_create determine if the user can create users, and the permission users_list determine if the user can list users.

You can customize the permissions by editing the database\seeders\SimplePermissionPermissionSeeder.php file.

To protect a route, you can use the can middleware:

Route::get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index'])->middleware('can:users_list');

To protect a controller method, you can use the can middleware:

use Gate;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        Gate::authorize('users_list');
        
        // ...
    }
}

To protect a part of a view, you can use the @can directive:

@can('users_list')
    <a href="{{ route('users.index') }}">Users</a>
@endcan
