Understanding Laravel’s Authorization System
Laravel’s authorization system is built on two main concepts: Gates and Policies.
- Gates are Closure-based approaches to authorization. They provide a simple, Closure-based method of authorizing actions. Gates are ideal for simple checks that don’t necessarily relate to a specific model or resource. They can be thought of as general-purpose authorization checks that can be used throughout your application.
- Policies are classes that organize authorization logic around a particular model or resource. They encapsulate the logic for authorizing actions on a specific type of model. Policies are particularly useful when you have multiple authorization checks related to a single model, as they help keep your authorization logic organized and maintainable.
For fine-grained authorization, we’ll primarily focus on Policies, as they provide a more structured and scalable approach for complex applications. Policies allow you to group related authorization logic together, making it easier to manage and understand the permissions associated with each model in your application.
That said, Gates can still play an important role in your authorization strategy. They’re great for defining broader, application-wide permissions that aren’t tied to a specific model. You might use Gates for actions like “access admin dashboard” or “manage site settings”.
It’s worth noting that Laravel’s authorization system is deeply integrated with its authentication system. This means you can easily check a user’s permissions within your controllers, views, and even database queries. Whether you’re using Gates or Policies, you’ll find that Laravel provides a consistent and intuitive API for performing authorization checks throughout your application.
