Ldaprecord ActiveDirectory User does not have method can(..) using Gates

[wewhite]

Ldaprecord works, and I have middleware routes with gates working, using Laravel 10.

I now need to access authenticated users can method, but the method does not exist, because \LdapRecord\Models\ActiveDirectory\User class does not use Authorizable;

I have created my own User model that extends the ActiveDirectory User:

namespace App\Ldap;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\Authorizable;

class User extends \LdapRecord\Models\ActiveDirectory\User
{

    // need to use for $request->auth()->user()->can(...)
    use Authorizable;    
}

This enables me to now check in the Controller:

        $readonly = true;
        if ($request->user()->can('accessDashboard')) {
            $readonly = false;
        }

Is there a reason Authorizable is not part of LdapRecord user models?

Hi there @wewhite,

The core LdapRecord package is usable outside of the Laravel framework, so it is not possible to use this trait on its included models.
