hi,

it's possible to give a user an edit permsion to one post/something?

is this possible with "spatie/laravel-permission", i dont see examples for this there?

best regards,

spatie/laravel-permission doesn't store details about individual records. It provides authorization infrastructure at the model level.

To control at the record level in a given model you can do that inside your app. Possible ways in your app include making your model have flags for things like a record-type or a record-status, and then set a Policy which enforces authorization based on that flag (possibly in conjunction with a Permission). Or if you're trying to control author-only access to a Post or something, then track the author_id and use a Policy to ensure that only author_id which matches auth()->id() can do certain actions.
A recent Medium article covers some of these concepts if you're looking for more reading on the topic: https://m.serversideup.net/laravel-gates-and-policies-in-an-api-driven-spa-dbe172d13518 There are lots more articles on Authorization concepts on Medium as well.
