Permissions, Roles, Gates: Back-End

Finally, in this course, we will take care of permission. In this lesson, we will take care of the back-end part. We will create Role and Permission models. Then we will add two roles: admin and editor. The admin role will be able to do everything and the editor will not be able to delete the posts.

First, we will create the models with migrations for roles and permissions.

php artisan make:model Role -m
php artisan make:model Permission -m

}

app/Models/Role.php:

class Role extends Model

database/migrations/xxxx_create_permissions_table.php:

public function up(): void

    Schema::create('permissions', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('name');
        $table->timestamps();

app/Models/Permission.php:

class permissions extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['name'];
}
