See the documentation for detailed installation and usage instructions.
This package allows you to manage user permissions and roles in a database.
Once installed you can do stuff like this:
// Adding permissions to a user
$user->givePermissionTo('edit articles');
// Adding permissions via a role
$user->assignRole('writer');
$role->givePermissionTo('edit articles');Because all permissions will be registered on Laravel's gate, you can check if a user has a permission with Laravel's default can function:
$user->can('edit articles');

This package is heavily based on Jeffrey Way's awesome Laracasts lessons on permissions and roles. His original code can be found in this repo on GitHub.

- Povilas Korop did an excellent job listing the alternatives in an article on Laravel News. In that same article, he compares laravel-permission to Joseph Silber's Bouncer, which in our book is also an excellent package.
- santigarcor/laratrust implements team support
- ultraware/roles (archived) takes a slightly different approach to its features.
- zizaco/entrust offers some wildcard pattern matching
