Laravel package to manage teams and operate with user permissions, abilities, supporting multi-tenant dynamic roles, roles groups, capabilities, and permissions for each team.
Users in teams can be combined into groups, with their own abilities, access rights given to a user group overrides the rights granted to a user in a team.
You can add a user to a global group to grant them access to all teams with the group's permissions. This feature is handy when you want to, for instance, provide support for all teams without assigning the user to created teams.
Note
The documentation for this package is currently being written. For now, please refer to this readme for information on the functionality and usage of the package.

PHP >= 8.1 and Laravel 8.x or higher
composer require jurager/teamsAlways do backups, next command may overwrite your actual data.
php artisan teams:installRun the migrations
php artisan migrateNote
If you wish to use custom foreign keys and table names, make changes to config config/teams.php before running migrations.
Then, add the HasTeams trait to your existing User model.
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Jurager\Teams\Traits\HasTeams;
class User extends Model {
use HasTeams;
}During installation, actions are published to the /app/Actions/Teams directory, where they can be easily accessed and triggered in response to specific user actions.
They offer a quick way to implement functionality without starting from scratch. You can also customize or extend these actions to fit your needs precisely.
Explore the available actions and adapt them as necessary to maintain a clean and efficient codebase, speeding up your development process.
A team can be accessed via $user->team, providing methods for inspecting the team's attributes and relations:
// Access the team's owner...
$team->owner
// Get all the team's users, excluding owner
$team->users()
// Get all the team's users, including the owner...
$team->allUsers()
// Determine if the given user is a team member...
$team->hasUser((object) $user)
// Get all the abilities belong to the team.
$team->abilities()
// Get all the team's roles.
$team->roles()
// Get the role from the team by role id or name
$team->findRole((int|string) $id)
// Return the user role object from the team
$team->userRole((object) $user)
// Add new role to the team
$team->addRole((string) $code, (array) $capabilities)
// Update the role in the team
$team->updateRole((string) $code, (array) $capabilities)
// Deletes the given role from team
$team->deleteRole((string) $code)
// Get all groups of the team.
$team->groups()
// Get team group by its code
$team->group((string) $code)
// Add new group to the team
$team->addGroup((string) $code, (string) $name)
// Delete group from the team
$team->deleteGroup((string) $code)
// Determine if the team has a member with the given email address...
$team->hasUserWithEmail((array) $emailAddress)
// Determine if the given user is a team member with the given permission...
$team->userHasPermission((object) $user, (string|array) $permission, (bool) $require = false)
// Remove the given user from the team.
$team->deleteUser((object) $user);
// Determine if the team has a member with the given email address...
$team->invitations()These methods allow you to efficiently manage and interact with teams, including roles, users, permissions, and invitations.
Note
By default, the package uses the built-in model. If you want to use your own model, or specify a custom table name in the database, use the settings in the configuration file - teams.models.team, teams.tables.teams, teams.foreign_keys.team_id
The Jurager\Teams\Traits\HasTeams trait provides methods to inspect a user's teams:
// Access the team's that a user belongs to...
$user->teams : Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection
// Access all of a user's owned teams...
$user->ownedTeams : Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection
// Access all the team's (including owned teams) that a user belongs to...
$user->allTeams() : Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection
// Determine if a user owns a given team...
$user->ownsTeam((object) $team) : bool
// Determine if a user belongs to a given team...
$user->belongsToTeam((object) $team) : bool
// Get the role that the user is assigned on the team...
$user->teamRole((object) $team) : \Jurager\Teams\Role
// Determine if the user has the given role on the given team...
$user->hasTeamRole((object) $team, (string|array) 'admin', (bool) $require = false) : bool
// Access an array of all permissions a user has for a given team...
$user->teamPermissions((object) $team) : array
// Determine if a user has a given team permission...
$user->hasTeamPermission((object) $team, (string|array) 'server:create', (bool) $require = false) : bool
// Get list of abilities or forbidden abilities for users on certain model
$user->teamAbilities((object) $team, (object) $server) : mixed
// Determine if a user has a given ability on certain model...
$user->hasTeamAbility((object) $team, (string) 'server:edit', (object) $server) : bool
// Add an ability for user to action on certain model, if permission is not found, will create a new one
$user->allowTeamAbility((object) $team, (string) 'server:edit', (object) $server) : bool
// Forbid an ability for user to action on certain model, used in case if global permission or role allowing this action
$user->forbidTeamAbility((object) $team, (string) 'server:edit', (object) $server) : boolThese methods enable you to efficiently manage and inspect a user's teams, roles, permissions, and abilities within your application.
Users within teams can be organized into groups, each with its own set of permissions.
Note
Access rights granted to a group of users take precedence over rights granted to a user within a team.
-
A user can
server:editwithin the team, but is part of a group restricted fromserver:editfor specific entities. -
A user can't
server:editwithin the team, but is in a group permitted toserver:editspecific entities.
The Jurager\Teams\Traits\HasTeams trait provides methods to inspect a user's team groups:
// Add new group to the team
$team->addGroup((string) $code, (string) $name)
// Delete group from the team
$team->deleteGroup((string) $code)
// Get all groups of the team.
$team->groups();
// Get team group by its code
$team->group((string) $code);
// Get all group users
$team->group((string) $code)->users();
// Attach users or user to a group
$team->group((string) $code)->attachUser((Collection|Model) $user);
// Detach users or user from group
$team->group((string) $code)->detachUser((Collection|Model) $user);You can manage permissions within a group using the following methods:
// Add an ability for user to action on certain model within team group, if permission is not found, will create a new one
$user->allowTeamAbility((object) $team, (string) 'server:edit', (object) $server, (object|null) $group));
// Forbid an ability for user to action on certain model within team group
$user->forbidTeamAbility((object) $team, (string) 'server:edit', (object) $server, (object|null) $group);
// Delete user ability to action on certain model within team group
$user->deleteTeamAbility((object) $team, (string) 'server:edit', (object) $server, (object|null) $group);Note
Team groups work together with abilities, so you should use ability checking methods to determine if users have specific access rights within groups.
// Determinate if user can perform an action
$user->hasTeamAbility((object) $team, (string) 'server:edit', (object) $server)Middleware ability is used to check the user's rights within the team group during requests to your application
Refer to the middlewares section in the documentation for more information.
Roles and permissions provide a flexible way to manage access control within your application. Each team member added to a team can be assigned a role, and each role is associated with a set of permissions.
These roles and permissions are stored in your application's database, allowing for dynamic management of access control. This enables features like role and permission management within your application's administration pages.
Example: Creating a New Team with Roles and Permissions
$team = new Team();
$team->name = 'Example Team';
if ($team->save()) {
$team->addRole('admin', [
'employees.*',
'sections.*',
'articles.*',
'tags.*',
'comments.*',
'team.edit',
'stores.*',
'plan.edit',
]);
$team->addRole('user', [
'employees.view',
'articles.view',
'articles.add',
'sections.view',
'sections.add',
'comments.add',
'tags.view',
'stores.add',
'stores.delete',
'tags.add',
]);
}In the above example, we create a new team and assign it two roles: "admin" and "user". Each role is associated with a set of capabilities that define what actions users with that role can perform within the application. These capabilities are stored in the database and can be managed dynamically.
The second argument for $team->addRole() is an array of capabilities, which determine the actions that users with the corresponding role can perform in the application.
To ensure that incoming requests initiated by a team member can be executed by that user, the application needs to verify the permissions of the user's team. This verification can be done using the hasTeamPermission method, which is available through the Jurager\Teams\Traits\HasTeams trait.
Note
In most cases, it's unnecessary to check a user's role directly. Instead, focus on verifying specific granular permissions. Roles primarily serve as a way to group granular permissions for organizational purposes. Typically, you'll execute calls to this method within your application's authorization policies.
return $user->hasTeamPermission((string) $server->team, (string) 'server:update');This example demonstrates how to check if a user within a team has permission to update a server. Adjust the parameters according to your application's specific requirements and use cases.
Adding abilities to users is straightforward. You don't need to create a role or an ability beforehand.
Simply pass the name of the ability, and the package will create it if it's not already existing.
To add the ability to edit an article within a team for a specific user, you need to provide the entity, such as the article object, and the team object:
User::allowTeamAbility((object) $team, string 'edit', (object) $article, (object|null) $group);To check if a user has a specific ability in a team, you can use the following method:
User::hasTeamAbility((object) $team, string 'edit', (object) $article);If you need to forbid a user from having a certain ability for instance, if the role abilities allow this ability, you can do so using the following method:
User::forbidTeamAbility((object) $team, (string) 'edit', (object) $article, (object|null) $group);If you need to create abilities without attaching them to a user, you can use the Ability model provided by this package.
This model is published during installation, allowing you to create abilities separately:
Ability::firstOrCreate([ 'name' => 'edit', 'title' => 'Edit' ]);The middleware provided by this package is automatically registered as role, permission, and ability.
However, if you wish to use your own customized middlewares, you can modify the middleware.register in the config/teams.php.
You can use middleware to filter routes and route groups based on permissions or roles.
Note
Consider, that team_id represents the actual ID of the team in the database.
If you need to customize the name of this variable, adjust the foreign_keys.team_id value in your config/teams.php file to match your database structure.
Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware' => ['role:admin,team_id']], function() {
Route::get('/users', 'UserController@usersIndex');
Route::get('/user/edit', ['middleware' => ['permission:edit-users,team_id'], 'uses' => 'UserController@userEdit']);
});Note
Middleware logic may vary based on how you pass the team_id variable.
- You can pass the
team_idvariable as a route parameter:
Route::get('/{team_id}/users', ['middleware' => ['permission:views-users'], 'uses' => 'CommonController@commonUsers']);- You can pass the
team_idvariable directly as a middleware option:
'middleware' => ['role:admin|root,team_id']- You can send the
team_idvariable with each request type (GET/POST/PUT, etc.).
For OR operations, use the pipe symbol:
'middleware' => ['role:admin|root,team_id']
// $user->hasTeamRole($team, ['admin', 'root']);
'middleware' => ['permission:edit-post|edit-user']
// $user->hasTeamPermission($team, ['edit-post', 'edit-user']);For AND functionality:
'middleware' => ['role:admin|root,team_id,require']
// $user->hasTeamRole($team, ['admin', 'root'], require: true);
'middleware' => ['permission:edit-post|edit-user,team_id,require']
// $user->hasTeamPermission($team, ['edit-post', 'edit-user'], require: true);To check the ability to perform an action on a specific model item, use the ability middleware:
'middleware' => ['ability:edit,App\Models\Article,atricle_id']
// $user->hasTeamAbility($team, 'edit', $article);In this case, pass article_id as a request parameter or route parameter to allow the package to identify the model object.
