The premise came after seeing many Laravel 4 user libraries that couple too tightly with projects and attempt to do too much. Authoritaire facilitates role-based and permissions-per-role authorization checks. Many systems can get by using only roles, however if you need more fine-grained control over things, permissions are available. Usage ----- [](#usage) Using Authoritaire is as simple as running the migration: ``` ./artisan migrate --package="atrauzzi/authoritaire" ``` Implement the [interface](http://goo.gl/tc4e6) `Authorizable` and then add the [trait](http://goo.gl/Z62lC) `AuthorizableImpl` to any model you wish to perform permission checks on. ``` use Atrauzzi\Authoritaire\Model\Authorizable; use Atrauzzi\Authoritaire\Model\AuthorizableImpl; class User implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface, Authorizable { use AuthorizableImpl; // ... ``` You can create new `Permissions` by instantiating them and relating them to a `Role`. ``` $eatPlants = Atrauzzi\Authoritaire\Model\Permission::create([ 'name' => 'Eat Plants' ]); $vegetarian = Atrauzzi\Authoritaire\Model\Role::create([ 'name' => 'Vegetarian', 'description' => 'Does not eat meat.' ]); $vegetarian->permissions()->save($eatPlants); ``` You can grant authorizables membership to `Roles` from either side using `addRole()` from `Authorizable` or `addAuthorizable()` from `Role`: ``` $a = User::first(); $r = Atrauzzi\Authoritaire\Model\Role::where('name', '=', 'Vegetarian')->first(); // Add from authorizable-side. $a->addRole($r); // Or add from role-side. $r->addAuthorizable($a); ``` Performing checks is as simple as asking the user if they are either a member of a role or have access to a permission. Authoritaire will take care of everything. ``` $u->is('Vegetarian'); // true $u->can('Eat Plants'); // true $u->is('Administrator'); // false // You can also perform checks for a set of permissions or roles. $u->is(['Administrator', 'Vegetarian']); // false ``` ### Currently [](#currently) This version of Authoritaire makes use of some workarounds due to [limitations in Laravel 4's polymorphic relations](https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/1922). As such, one join table has to be more directly manipulated than I would have liked.

While I didn't keep the lion's share of his work, it has mostly inspired the schema. ### Health Score 33 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity28 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 60.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
