Installation

Install the package using composer

composer require brand3000/nova-roles-and-permissions

Publish the migration, models, resources, and policies

Be aware that the package will create/overwrite the next files:

• Models:
  • app/Models/Admin.php
  • app/Models/User.php
• Nova resources:
  • app/Nova/Admin.php
  • app/Nova/User.php
• Policies:
  • app/Policies/AdminPolicy.php

  • app/Policies/CorePermissions.php

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Brand3000\NovaRolesAndPermissions\Publisher" --force

Run new migration

php artisan migrate

Set administrators

Go to your database, find the users table and choose administrators by setting the role_admin column into 1. Additionally, set the supar_admin column into 1 for those who are eligible. If you have different types of users in your project, feel free to add more role_ columns for future development.

During development

During development, you have to add all the resources you want to be managed into the array $booleanOptions of the fields() function in the app/Nova/Admin.php nova resource.

Before switching a project to the production state

Go into the NovaServiceProvider.php file and add the next logic into the gate() function

Gate::define('viewNova', function ($user) {
    return $user->role_admin;
});

If you want to seed a default super admin, run the next command

php artisan db:seed --class=SuperAdminSeeder
