Roles and permissions in Laravel web application?

Question

Laravel

Correct me if I'm wrong... I have a certain table of users in the "role" field, respectively, in this field I specify the user's role... Permissions need to be assigned for each role. The question is how to do it right. The most banal method is to add 3 more tables from the series "role", "premission", "user_role", and dance from it. Or all the same, paint all the permissions in a separate controller that will determine by the user.role field what can and cannot be done by a user with a particular role. What is the best and most convenient way?

Answer 1

It is more convenient to use a ready-made solution, for example: https://github.com/Zizaco/entrust . But if you want to make your own "bicycle", then the best solution would be what you described with the tables. Look at how entrust works , it works exactly according to this principle.

You can use Sentry:
