In this post, I will share how to implement the ACL method **Roles & Permissions on Laravel 8 with a step-by-step guide** that will help you to understand the flow. We know that implementing user roles and permissions is one of the basic functionality to implement in our web applications to restrict the specific user with only admin allowed to access. That's why we need to implement role-based users with assigned permissions. In this example, I automatically read the route as permission via middleware so that you don't need to add manually. We have also a feature in this example to add permission manually.

 

By following this tutorial it would be easier to implement Laravel permission and secure your user accounts.

 

In this example I added the following modules:

 

- **User Management**
 - Creating simple user management using Laravel 8 so that it will be easier for you to apply for Laravel permission.
- **Roles Management**
 - A simple roles management that will help us to add roles for a user account and determine the user what assigned Laravel permission.
- **Permissions Management**
 - A management for Laravel permission that will list all route names using a Laravel console command.
- **Product Management**
 - A simple product management and apply for the Laravel permissions with each role as a user.
 

With authentication which you can follow in my [previous tutorial](https://codeanddeploy.com/blog/laravel/laravel-8-authentication-login-and-registration-with-username-or-email).

So let's start...

## Step 1: Laravel Installation

I assume that you have your project already in your local. To shorten this post kindly follow my previous tutorial with [authentication functionality](https://codeanddeploy.com/blog/laravel/laravel-8-authentication-login-and-registration-with-username-or-email).

 

Or run and clone my previous tutorial about authentication.


```php
git clone https://github.com/codeanddeploy/laravel8-authentication-example.git
```

Then once you cloned it just copy and paste it to your **htdocs** if you using Wampp on Windows.


Then navigate your project and run this command:

```php
composer update
```

## Step 2: Install Packages

Next, we need to install our Laravel packages for ACL and Form Collections. Run the following command below:


```php
composer require spatie/laravel-permission
```

```php
composer require laravelcollective/html
```

Then run this command:

```php
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Permission\PermissionServiceProvider"
 
```

After running the above command you will see a config file named `permission.php` and migrations with ***_permission_tables.php**. Now let's run the command to migrate the permission tables.

```php
php artisan migrate
```

## Step 3: Create Post Migration

Next, we will create a migration for the posts table. Run the following command to do it.

```php
php artisan make:migration create_posts_table
```

Then let's do our post-migration. See below the complete code:

```php
<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id');
            $table->string('title', 70);
            $table->string('description', 320);
            $table->text('body');
            $table->timestamps();

            $table->foreign('user_id')
                ->references('id')
                ->on('users')
                ->onDelete('cascade');
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
    }
}
```

Then run, migration:

```
php artisan migrate
```

## Step 4: Create Models

Next, we will create our models and set up the important details. If you are using my previous authentication tutorial you just need to update the User model. See the following complete codes below:

**app/Models/User.php**

```php
<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
use Spatie\Permission\Traits\HasRoles;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable, HasRoles;

    /**
     * The database table used by the model.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $table = 'users';

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'username',
        'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    /**
     * Always encrypt password when it is updated.
     *
     * @param $value
     * @return string
     */
    public function setPasswordAttribute($value)
    {
        $this->attributes['password'] = bcrypt($value);
    }
}
```

Next, we will generate a model for Post. Run the following command:

```php
php artisan make:model Post
```

Post model code below:

**app/Models/Post.php**

```php
<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $table = 'posts';

    protected $fillable = [
        'user_id',
        'title',
        'description',
        'body'
    ];
}
```
 

## Step 5: Add middleware
In this example, I'm doing a custom middleware for our Permission to read the current route if existing to our permission.


Let's create our custom middleware. Run the following command:

```php
php artisan make:middleware PermissionMiddleware
```

And here is the custom code of our PermissionMiddlware class. Navigate to **App\Http\Middleware\PermissionMiddleware.php**

```php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Spatie\Permission\Exceptions\UnauthorizedException;

class PermissionMiddleware
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next, $permission = null, $guard = null)
    {
        $authGuard = app('auth')->guard($guard);

        if ($authGuard->guest()) {
            throw UnauthorizedException::notLoggedIn();
        }

        if (! is_null($permission)) {
            $permissions = is_array($permission)
                ? $permission
                : explode('|', $permission);
        }

        if ( is_null($permission) ) {
            $permission = $request->route()->getName();

            $permissions = array($permission);
        }
        

        foreach ($permissions as $permission) {
            if ($authGuard->user()->can($permission)) {
                return $next($request);
            }
        }

        throw UnauthorizedException::forPermissions($permissions);
    }
}
```

Then let's register our created middleware and the default **Spatie** middlewares.


Now let's navigate file **app/Http/Kernel.php** then in the **$routeMiddleware** property we will add the following middlewares.

```php
protected $routeMiddleware = [
        .
        .
        .
        'role' => \Spatie\Permission\Middlewares\RoleMiddleware::class,
        'permission' => \App\Http\Middleware\PermissionMiddleware::class,
        'role_or_permission' => \Spatie\Permission\Middlewares\RoleOrPermissionMiddleware::class,
];
```

As you can see above we added our custom middleware.


## Step 6: Add Routes

Now let's add our routes, if you are using my Laravel 8 authentication just edit or copy the complete route codes below:

```php
<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::group(['namespace' => 'App\Http\Controllers'], function()
{   
    /**
     * Home Routes
     */
    Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index')->name('home.index');

    Route::group(['middleware' => ['guest']], function() {
        /**
         * Register Routes
         */
        Route::get('/register', 'RegisterController@show')->name('register.show');
        Route::post('/register', 'RegisterController@register')->name('register.perform');

        /**
         * Login Routes
         */
        Route::get('/login', 'LoginController@show')->name('login.show');
        Route::post('/login', 'LoginController@login')->name('login.perform');

    });

    Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth', 'permission']], function() {
        /**
         * Logout Routes
         */
        Route::get('/logout', 'LogoutController@perform')->name('logout.perform');

        /**
         * User Routes
         */
        Route::group(['prefix' => 'users'], function() {
            Route::get('/', 'UsersController@index')->name('users.index');
            Route::get('/create', 'UsersController@create')->name('users.create');
            Route::post('/create', 'UsersController@store')->name('users.store');
            Route::get('/{user}/show', 'UsersController@show')->name('users.show');
            Route::get('/{user}/edit', 'UsersController@edit')->name('users.edit');
            Route::patch('/{user}/update', 'UsersController@update')->name('users.update');
            Route::delete('/{user}/delete', 'UsersController@destroy')->name('users.destroy');
        });

        /**
         * User Routes
         */
        Route::group(['prefix' => 'posts'], function() {
            Route::get('/', 'PostsController@index')->name('posts.index');
            Route::get('/create', 'PostsController@create')->name('posts.create');
            Route::post('/create', 'PostsController@store')->name('posts.store');
            Route::get('/{post}/show', 'PostsController@show')->name('posts.show');
            Route::get('/{post}/edit', 'PostsController@edit')->name('posts.edit');
            Route::patch('/{post}/update', 'PostsController@update')->name('posts.update');
            Route::delete('/{post}/delete', 'PostsController@destroy')->name('posts.destroy');
        });

        Route::resource('roles', RolesController::class);
        Route::resource('permissions', PermissionsController::class);
    });
});
```

## Step 7: Add Controllers

In this step, we will add our controllers for **Users**, **Posts**, **Roles**, and **Permissions** kindly see each controller below:
 

**App\Http\Controllers\UsersController.php**

```php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Spatie\Permission\Models\Role;
use App\Http\Requests\StoreUserRequest;
use App\Http\Requests\UpdateUserRequest;

class UsersController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display all users
     * 
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index() 
    {
        $users = User::latest()->paginate(10);

        return view('users.index', compact('users'));
    }

    /**
     * Show form for creating user
     * 
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create() 
    {
        return view('users.create');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created user
     * 
     * @param User $user
     * @param StoreUserRequest $request
     * 
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(User $user, StoreUserRequest $request) 
    {
        //For demo purposes only. When creating user or inviting a user
        // you should create a generated random password and email it to the user
        $user->create(array_merge($request->validated(), [
            'password' => 'test' 
        ]));

        return redirect()->route('users.index')
            ->withSuccess(__('User created successfully.'));
    }

    /**
     * Show user data
     * 
     * @param User $user
     * 
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show(User $user) 
    {
        return view('users.show', [
            'user' => $user
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * Edit user data
     * 
     * @param User $user
     * 
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(User $user) 
    {
        return view('users.edit', [
            'user' => $user,
            'userRole' => $user->roles->pluck('name')->toArray(),
            'roles' => Role::latest()->get()
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * Update user data
     * 
     * @param User $user
     * @param UpdateUserRequest $request
     * 
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(User $user, UpdateUserRequest $request) 
    {
        $user->update($request->validated());

        $user->syncRoles($request->get('role'));

        return redirect()->route('users.index')
            ->withSuccess(__('User updated successfully.'));
    }

    /**
     * Delete user data
     * 
     * @param User $user
     * 
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy(User $user) 
    {
        $user->delete();

        return redirect()->route('users.index')
            ->withSuccess(__('User deleted successfully.'));
    }
}
```

**App\Http\Controllers\PostsController.php**

```php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PostsController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::latest()->paginate(10);

        return view('posts.index', compact('posts'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('posts.create');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        Post::create(array_merge($request->only('title', 'description', 'body'),[
            'user_id' => auth()->id()
        ]));

        return redirect()->route('posts.index')
            ->withSuccess(__('Post created successfully.'));
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Post  $post
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

    public function show(Post $post)
    {
        return view('posts.show', [
            'post' => $post
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Post  $post
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(Post $post)
    {
        return view('posts.edit', [
            'post' => $post
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *

     */
    public function update(Request $request, Post $post)
    {
        $post->update($request->only('title', 'description', 'body'));

        return redirect()->route('posts.index')
            ->withSuccess(__('Post updated successfully.'));
    }

    /**

    public function destroy(Post $post)
    {
        $post->delete();

        return redirect()->route('posts.index')
            ->withSuccess(__('Post deleted successfully.'));
    }
}
```

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Spatie\Permission\Models\Permission;

class PermissionsController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

    public function index()

## Step 8: Add Requests

In my **UsersController** I implemented a specific request for each action it will help to shorten your code and put other functions and checking to another class and your code is more readable.

Run the following commands below to generate requests:


```php
php artisan make:request StoreUserRequest
php artisan make:request UpdateUserRequest
```

Once done, kindly see the code of each request.

**App\Http\Requests\StoreUserRequest.php**


```php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class StoreUserRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email:rfc,dns|unique:users,email',
            'username' => 'required|unique:users,username',
        ];
    }
}
```

**App\Http\Requests\UpdateUserRequest.php**

```php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class UpdateUserRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        // Let's get the route param by name to get the User object value
        $user = request()->route('user');

        return [
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email:rfc,dns|unique:users,email,'.$user->id,
            'username' => 'required|unique:users,username,'.$user->id,
        ];
    }
}
```

## Step 9: Add Blade Files

In this post, we will create our blade files for our view and layout.


**resources/views/layouts/app-master.blade.php**

```php

    <!-- Bootstrap core CSS -->
    <link href="{!! url('assets/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css') !!}" rel="stylesheet">

    <style>
      .bd-placeholder-img {
        font-size: 1.125rem;
        text-anchor: middle;
        -webkit-user-select: none;
        -moz-user-select: none;
        user-select: none;
      }

      @media (min-width: 768px) {
        .bd-placeholder-img-lg {
          font-size: 3.5rem;
        }
      }

      .float-right {
        float: right;
      }
    </style>

    
    <!-- Custom styles for this template -->
    <link href="{!! url('assets/css/app.css') !!}" rel="stylesheet">

## Step 10: Create Command


Next, we will create a command to generate our laravel permissions using the route name. Run the command below:

```php
php artisan make:command CreateRoutePermissionsCommand
```

Navigate **App\Console\Commands\CreateRoutePermissionsCommand.php** and copy the code below:

```php
<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Spatie\Permission\Models\Permission;

class CreateRoutePermissionsCommand extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'permission:create-permission-routes';

    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Create a permission routes.';

    /**
     * Create a new command instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return int
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $routes = Route::getRoutes()->getRoutes();

        foreach ($routes as $route) {
            if ($route->getName() != '' && $route->getAction()['middleware']['0'] == 'web') {
                $permission = Permission::where('name', $route->getName())->first();

                if (is_null($permission)) {
                    permission::create(['name' => $route->getName()]);
                }
            }
        }

        $this->info('Permission routes added successfully.');
    }
}
```
Then next, let's run the created command:


```php
php artisan permission:create-permission-routes
```

**NOTE:** If you are in production already kindly add a scheduler for this command so that you don't need to run it manually.


## Step 11: Add User Admin Seeder

Next, we should have our default user as admin so that you can access your system with the created default user.


Run the following command:

```php
php artisan make:seeder CreateAdminUserSeeder
```

Then navigate**Database\Seeders\CreateAdminUserSeeder.php** and copy the code below:

```php
<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Spatie\Permission\Models\Role;
use Spatie\Permission\Models\Permission;

class CreateAdminUserSeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeds.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        $user = User::create([
            'name' => 'Admin', 
            'email' => 'admin@gmail.com',
            'username' => 'admin',
            'password' => 'admin123'
        ]);
    
        $role = Role::create(['name' => 'admin']);
     
        $permissions = Permission::pluck('id','id')->all();
   
        $role->syncPermissions($permissions);
     
        $user->assignRole([$role->id]);
    }
}
```
Then run the following command:

```php
php artisan db:seed --class=CreateAdminUserSeeder
```

Now you have an admin that you can use to login and test your Laravel 8 ACL User Roles and Permissions.


Now you are ready. Run the following command to test.

```
php artisan serve
```

Then access it to your browser:

```php
http://127.0.0.1:8000
```

**Don't forget that your credential is:**

email: admin
password: admin123
