This package allows you to manage user permissions and roles in a database.

Intro
-----

[](#intro)

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/10.x/authorization), you can test if a user has a permission with Laravel's default `can` function:

```
$user->can('edit articles');
```

### Package Origins

[](#package-origins)

- This package is a fork of [Spatie's Permission v2.1.5](https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission).
- Reason for the fork was to convert the package into a [Concord compliant](https://konekt.dev/concord) module.
- As of **v1.0**: most of the changes have been ported from Spatie v2.9.0
- Beginning with **v2.0**, this package no longer maintains compatibility and feature parity with the Spatie Permission package.
- The most important feature of v2 is the possibility of *Sharing Eloquent models* across users.
