Install via Composer
composer require artisanpack-ui/rbac
The package auto-registers via Laravel's package discovery — no manual service provider entry is required.
Run migrations
php artisan migrate
Four tables are created: roles, permissions, role_user, and permission_role.
(Optional) Publish the config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=rbac-config
Publishes config/artisanpack/rbac.php. Override model bindings, table names, foreign keys, user lookup fields, or cache settings here.
Add the traits to your User model
use ArtisanPackUI\Rbac\Concerns\HasPermissions;
use ArtisanPackUI\Rbac\Concerns\HasRoles;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasPermissions;
use HasRoles;
}
Both traits are independent — you can use just HasRoles if you only need role assignment, but HasPermissions requires HasRoles to resolve permissions through the role hierarchy.
