FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package role-based-authority
Laravel4 - RoleBasedAuthority
This is a simple package that provides role-based access control (RBAC) for Laravel4 applications.
It is very similar to Authority-L4 in that it provides a Laravel 4 shell around the "Authority" package. This package however focuses on managing permissions assigned to "roles" rather than "users".
After examining a whole host of authorization systems for Laravel, I finally settled on Authority
- Easy to understand and manage
- No other external dependencies
- Runs on PHP 5.3+
- Works exactly as advertised
(As far as authentication is concerned, I believe the stock laravel implementation works perfectly)
To install RoleBasedAuthority via composer:
Run composer update to bring in the dependencies.
Add to Provider list (app.php):
Add to Alias list (app.php):
Run all migrations (Remember to setup your database config prior to doing this. Note that it contains a migration for the users table, and as such you might want to inspect the code prior to running):
Publish the configuration file:
(this central config file is where you would put all your rules. In order to cache the "Authority" object, set 'cache' to true and specify cache_ttl)
Create/Modify your User, Role and Permission models to permit relationships (many-to-many between users and roles, one-to-many between roles and permissions): User.php
Role.php
Permission.php
The major changes from Authority are:
- DB migrations (include relationships between users,roles and permissions)
- The "type" field in table "permissions" is set to enum (allow/deny)
- Support for role inheritance (using the "inherited_roleid" column in Roles)
- Config file changes (to loop through all user roles, and create rule list)
- Support for caching the Authority object (set 'cache' to true in config file)
Common usage pattern:
Once you have the tables setup (with users, roles and permissions), checking authorization within your application is fairly trivial. Here is some seed data to get you started:
The following snippets of code demonstrate methods of checking for appropriate privileges:
Adding a role-check can be accomplished using filters like so:
('admin' can then be used as a before filter)
