If the authorization service can be used to check authorization on a narrow level, the guards are meant to work as gateways to bigger parts of an application. Usually, you'll want to use both methods in an application for increased security. Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Documentation is available at: .

Running the above command will also install that package. You'll have to first configure dot-rbac before using this module. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) As with many Dotkernel modules, we focus on the configuration-based approach of customizing the module for your needs. After installing, merge the module's `ConfigProvider` with your application's config to make sure required dependencies and default module configuration are registered. Create a configuration file for this module in your 'config/autoload' folder. ### authorization-guards.global.php [](#authorization-guardsglobalphp) ``` return [ 'dot_authorization' => [ //define how it will treat non-matching guard rules, allow all by default 'protection_policy' => \Dot\Rbac\Guard\GuardInterface::POLICY_ALLOW, 'event_listeners' => [ [ 'type' => 'class or service name of the listener', 'priority' => 1, ], ], //define custom guards here 'guard_manager' => [], //register custom guards providers here 'guards_provider_manager' => [], //define which guard provider to use, along with its configuration //the guard provider should know how to build a list of GuardInterfaces based on its configuration 'guards_provider' => [ 'type' => 'ArrayGuards', 'options' => [ 'guards' => [ [ 'type' => 'Route', 'options' => [ 'rules' => [ 'premium' => ['admin'], 'login' => ['guest'], 'logout' => ['admin', 'user', 'viewer'], 'account' => ['admin', 'user'], 'home' => ['*'], ] ] ], [ 'type' => 'RoutePermission', 'options' => [ 'rules' => [ 'premium' => ['premium'], 'account' => ['my-account'], 'logout' => ['only-logged'], ] ] ], [ 'type' => 'Controller', 'options' => [ 'rules' => [ [ 'route' => 'controller route name', //list of actions to apply, or empty array for all actions 'actions' => [], //by default, authorization pass if all permissions are present (AND) //list of roles to allow 'roles' => [], ], ] ] ], [ 'type' => 'ControllerPermission', 'options' => [ 'rules' => [ [ 'route' => 'controller route name', //list of actions to apply, or empty array for all actions 'actions' => [], //by default, authorization pass if all permissions are present (AND) //list of permissions to allow 'permissions' => [], ], [ 'route' => 'controller route name', //list of actions to apply, or empty array for all actions 'actions' => [], 'permissions' => [ //permission can be defined in this way too, for all permission type guards //list of permissions 'permissions' => [], 'condition' => \Dot\Rbac\Guard\GuardInterface::CONDITION_OR, ] ] ] ] ] ] ], ], //overwrite default messages 'messages_options' => [ 'messages' => [ //MessagesOptions::UNAUTHORIZED => 'You must sign in first to access the requested content', //MessagesOptions::FORBIDDEN => 'You don\'t have enough permissions to access the requested content', ] ], ], ]; ``` Register the RbacGuardMiddleware in the pipe -------------------------------------------- [](#register-the-rbacguardmiddleware-in-the-pipe) The last step to use this package is to register the middleware. This middleware triggers the authorization event. You MUST insert this middleware between the routing middleware and the dispatch middleware of the application, because the guards need the `RouteResult` in order to get the matched route and params. ### middleware-pipeline.global.php [](#middleware-pipelineglobalphp) ``` //... 'routing' => [ 'middleware' => [ ApplicationFactory::ROUTING_MIDDLEWARE, //... \Dot\Rbac\Guard\Middleware\RbacGuardMiddleware::class, //... ApplicationFactory::DISPATCH_MIDDLEWARE, ], 'priority' => 1, ], //... ``` ### Health Score 55 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance58 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity32 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity92 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 61.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
