Sentinel
========

[](#sentinel)

Sentinel brings a simple and light-weight role-based permissions system to Laravel's built in Auth system.

Sentinel brings support for the following ACL structure:

- Every user can have zero or more roles.
- Every role can have zero or more permissions.

Permissions are then inherited to the user through the user's assigned roles.

Quick Installation
------------------

[](#quick-installation)

Begin by installing the package through Composer. The best way to do this is through your terminal via Composer itself:

```

### Facade

[](#facade)

```
'Sentinel' => pierresilva\Sentinel\Facades\Sentinel::class,

### routeMiddleware

[](#routemiddleware)

```
 'roles' => \pierresilva\Sentinel\Middleware\UserHasRole::class,
 'permissions' => \pierresilva\Sentinel\Middleware\UserHasPermission::class,
```
