Permissions
===========

[](#permissions)

Class-based authorization for Laravel

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add to providers:

KilroyWeb\\Permissions\\Providers\\PermissionServiceProvider::class,

publish config:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

Generate Permissions
--------------------

[](#generate-permissions)

php artisan make:permission CLASSNAME

ie:

php artisan make:permission ManageUsers

Adding Permissions To A Role
----------------------------

[](#adding-permissions-to-a-role)

Create a new migration:

```
Schema::create('role_permissions', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->integer('user_id');
    $table->string('permission');
    $table->timestamps();
});

```

and model:

```
php artisan make:model RolePermission

```

Adding Permissions To A User
----------------------------

[](#adding-permissions-to-a-user)

Create a new migration:

```
Schema::create('user_permissions', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->integer('user_id');
    $table->string('permission');
    $table->timestamps();
});

```

and model:

```
php artisan make:model UserPermission

```

Add HasPermissions Trait
------------------------

[](#add-haspermissions-trait)

Add the HasPermissions trait to your User/Role model:

```
use \KilroyWeb\Permissions\Traits\HasPermissions;

```

Along with a pointer to the permission model:

```
protected $permissionsClass = \App\UserPermission::class;

```

The trait provides a few useful properties + methods:

$user->permissionClassNames

uses Laravel's hasmany to return the direct linked permission classes

$user->permissions

Returns a collection of permission class instances

Methods for adding/deleting permissions:

$user->addPermission($permissionInstance); $user->deletePermission($permissionInstance); $user->syncPermissions($permissionInstances);
