About Gatekeeper
----------------

[](#about-gatekeeper)

Gatekeeper is an access control management system for Laravel that combines a comprehensive dashboard with code-driven configuration. It allows you to manage permissions, roles, features, and teams while maintaining a full audit trail of changes to entities and their assignments.
