What It Does ------------ [](#what-it-does) 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](https://laravel.com/docs/authorization), you can check if a user has a permission with Laravel's default `can` function: ``` $user->can('edit articles'); ``` Support us ---------- [](#support-us) [![](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5b28028ab09fa239a01792616a22d242a2b681d3718c0efff875e16102148964/68747470733a2f2f6769746875622d6164732e73332e65752d63656e7472616c2d312e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f6c61726176656c2d7065726d697373696f6e2e6a70673f743d31)](https://spatie.be/github-ad-click/laravel-permission) We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source).

Alternatives ------------ [](#alternatives) - [Povilas Korop](https://twitter.com/@povilaskorop) did an excellent job listing the alternatives [in an article on Laravel News](https://laravel-news.com/two-best-roles-permissions-packages). In that same article, he compares laravel-permission to [Joseph Silber](https://github.com/JosephSilber)'s Bouncer, which in our book is also an excellent package. - [santigarcor/laratrust](https://github.com/santigarcor/laratrust) implements team support - [ultraware/roles](https://github.com/ultraware/roles) (archived) takes a slightly different approach to its features. - [zizaco/entrust](https://github.com/zizaco/entrust) offers some wildcard pattern matching License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT).
