This Nova tool lets you:
- manage roles and permissions on the Nova dashboard
- use permissions based authorization for Nova resources
There are no PHP dependencies except the Laravel Nova package and the Spatie Permission package.
You can install this tool into a Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:
composer require insenseanalytics/laravel-nova-permission
Next, if you do not have package discovery enabled, you need to register the provider in the config/app.php
file.
'providers' => [
...,
Insenseanalytics\LaravelNovaPermission\NovaPermissionServiceProvider::class,
]
Next, you must register the tool with Nova. This is typically done in the tools
method of the NovaServiceProvider
.
// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php
public function tools()
{
return [
// ...
\Insenseanalytics\LaravelNovaPermission\LaravelNovaPermission::make(),
];
}
Next, add MorphToMany
fields to you app/Nova/User
resource:
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\MorphToMany;
public function fields(Request $request)
{
return [
// ...
MorphToMany::make('Roles', 'roles', \Insenseanalytics\LaravelNovaPermission\Role::class),
MorphToMany::make('Permissions', 'permissions', \Insenseanalytics\LaravelNovaPermission\Permission::class),
];
}
Finally, add the ForgetCachedPermissions
class to your config/nova.php
middleware like so:
// in config/nova.php
'middleware' => [
'web',
Authenticate::class,
DispatchServingNovaEvent::class,
BootTools::class,
Authorize::class,
\Insenseanalytics\LaravelNovaPermission\ForgetCachedPermissions::class,
],
You can use the artisan command line tool to publish localization files:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Insenseanalytics\LaravelNovaPermission\NovaPermissionServiceProvider"
If you want to use custom resource classes you can define them when you register a tool:
// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php
public function tools()
{
return [
// ...
\Insenseanalytics\LaravelNovaPermission\LaravelNovaPermission::make()
->roleResource(CustomRole::class)
->permissionResource(CustomPermission::class),
];
}
By default, Laravel Nova uses Policy based authorization for Nova resources. If you are using the Spatie Permission library, it is very likely that you would want to swap this out to permission based authorization without the need to define Authorization policies.
To do so, you can use the PermissionsBasedAuthTrait
and define a permissionsForAbilities
static array property in your Nova resource class like so:
// in app/Nova/YourNovaResource.php
class YourNovaResource extends Resource
{
use \Insenseanalytics\LaravelNovaPermission\PermissionsBasedAuthTrait;
public static $permissionsForAbilities = [
'all' => 'manage products',
];
}
The example above means that all actions on this resource can be performed by users who have the "manage products" permission. You can also define separate permissions for each action like so:
public static $permissionsForAbilities = [
'viewAny' => 'view products',
'view' => 'view products',
'create' => 'create products',
'update' => 'update products',
'delete' => 'delete products',
'restore' => 'restore products',
'forceDelete' => 'forceDelete products',
'addAttribute' => 'add product attributes',
'attachAttribute' => 'attach product attributes',
'detachAttribute' => 'detach product attributes',
];
