A simple and flexible authorization system for Laravel 5
--------------------------------------------------------

[](#a-simple-and-flexible-authorization-system-for-laravel-5)

### Installation via Composer

[](#installation-via-composer)

Add Authority to your composer.json file to require Authority

```
require : {
  "laravel/framework": "~5.0.16",
  "authority-php/authority-laravel": "dev-master"
}

```

Now update Composer

composer update

The last **required** step is to add the service provider to `config/app.php`

```
    'Authority\AuthorityLaravel\AuthorityLaravelServiceProvider',
```

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Authority. However, we have also included some other configuration options for your convenience.

For [**Laravel 4**](http://laravel.com/docs/4.2) supports, see [Authority-Laravel 2.3 branch](https://github.com/authority-php/authority-laravel/tree/2.3)

### Additional (optional) Configuration Options

[](#additional-optional-configuration-options)

##### Add the alias (facade) to your Laravel app config file.

[](#add-the-alias-facade-to-your-laravel-app-config-file)

```
    'Authority' => 'Authority\AuthorityLaravel\Facades\Authority',
```

This will allow you to access the Authority class through the static interface you are used to with Laravel components.

```
  Authority::can('update', 'SomeModel');
```

##### Publish the Authority default configuration file

[](#publish-the-authority-default-configuration-file)

```
  php artisan vendor:publish
```

This will place a copy of the configuration file at `config/authority.php`. The config file includes an 'initialize' function, which is a great place to setup your rules and aliases.

```
  // config/authority.php
