Laravel Mandate

Role-based access control in Laravel is implemented by defining roles, permissions, and capabilities in PHP classes. You can group permissions into capabilities and run the 'mandate:sync' command to synchronize these code-first definitions directly with your database.

Yes, Laravel permissions and roles can be scoped to specific tenant contexts like teams or projects. This multi-tenancy feature ensures that authorization checks and access rights are isolated to the appropriate tenant boundaries.

The best way to define roles and permissions code-first is by using PHP classes with attributes. This approach allows you to declare capability groupings and fine-grained access rules directly in your code before syncing them to the database.

Yes, code-first permission management requires Laravel 11, 12, or 13 and PHP 8.2 or higher. You need this environment to properly support the PHP class attributes used for defining roles and capabilities.

Capability grouping works by bundling multiple individual permissions into a single capability. This results in cleaner authorization logic, allowing you to grant a grouped capability to a role or user instead of assigning many granular permissions individually.

Yes, you can delegate feature access checks to external packages. This feature integration allows your Laravel application's authorization system to rely on external logic for specific access control decisions when needed.
