Laravel Permission

RBAC for Laravel with scoped permissions (all, self, attached) and optional multi-tenancy support.

1:1 model: the Gate ability string equals the permission name (e.g. companies.edit.attached == permissions.name).

Features

• Scoped permissions with all, self, and attached scopes
• Roles and permissions with a familiar API
• Attachment-based access for fine-grained authorization
• Optional multi-tenancy via a feature flag
• Configurable resolvers for tenant and self resolution

Installation

composer require jftecnologia/laravel-permission

Publish config (optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="permission-config"

Run the migrations:

php artisan migrate

Configuration

config/permission.php:

• models.permission|role|attachment: swap the Eloquent models
• tables.*: rename tables
• tenancy.enabled: feature flag for multi-tenancy (default: true)
• tenancy.column: tenant column name (default: tenant_id)
• tenant_resolver: callback to resolve the current tenant id (nullable)
• self_resolver: callback to define what "self" means

Default self

If you don't define self_resolver, the package uses the convention:

• resource->created_by == user->id

Usage

1) On your User model

Add the trait:

use JuniorFontenele\LaravelPermission\Traits\InteractsWithPermissions;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use InteractsWithPermissions;
}

2) Create and assign permissions

Permissions are unique strings (permissions.name is unique):

$user->givePermissionTo('companies.edit.all');

3) Roles

$user->assignRole('editor');
$user->syncRoles(['editor', 'viewer']);
$user->removeRole('viewer');

Permission via role:

$role = \JuniorFontenele\LaravelPermission\Models\Role::query()->firstOrCreate([
    'tenant_id' => null,
    'name' => 'editor',
    'guard_name' => 'web',
]);

$role->givePermissionTo('companies.edit.all');

4) Gate/Policies (scopes)

$user->can('companies.edit.all');
$user->can('companies.edit.self', $company);
$user->can('companies.edit.attached', $company);

• all: checks RBAC only
• self: RBAC + self_resolver
• attached: RBAC + permission_attachments record

5) Attachments (attached scope)

use JuniorFontenele\LaravelPermission\Facades\Permission;

Permission::attach($user, 'companies.edit.attached', $company);

$user->can('companies.edit.attached', $company); // true

Multi-tenancy

Multi-tenancy support is a feature flag:

• permission.tenancy.enabled = true: creates/uses tenant column in tables (migrations + queries)
• permission.tenancy.enabled = false: ignores tenant entirely and does not create the column

The column is configurable via permission.tenancy.column (default: tenant_id).

To enable tenant scoping, define permission.tenant_resolver in config (or pass tenantId explicitly in APIs).

Testing

composer test
