What problem does it solve?

It reduces the risk of inconsistent or forgotten access checks by centralizing authorization logic into Laravel Policies and Gates instead of scattering checks throughout controllers and routes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Policies for per-model permissions: Define model-specific actions (for example, viewing, creating, updating, deleting) in dedicated policy classes and enforce them in controllers.
• Gates for cross-cutting authorization: Use Gate checks for application-wide rules that don’t naturally belong to a single model policy.
• Resource controller protection patterns: Protect resource controllers using authorizeResource and consistent policy method names to keep controllers clean and maintainable.

Quick Start

Generate a PostPolicy for your Post model and wire it to a resource controller so controller actions use standardized authorization checks.
