Authorization

Basics

The MoonShine admin panel does not depart from Laravel concepts and also using Laravel policy can work with access rights.

In MoonShine resource controllers, each method will be checked for permissions.If you have any difficulties, check out the official documentation Laravel By default, permissions checking is disabled for resources. To enable, you need to add the property withPolicy.

namespace App\MoonShine\Resources;
 
use App\Models\Post;
use MoonShine\Resources\ModelResource;
 
class PostResource extends ModelResource
{
    protected string $model = Post::class;
 
    protected bool $withPolicy = true;
 
    //...
}

To create a Policy with an admin panel user binding, you can use the console command:

php artisan moonshine:policy

Available Policy methods:

  • viewAny - index page;
  • view - detailed page;
  • create - creating a record;
  • update - editing a record;
  • delete - deleting a record;
  • massDelete - mass deletion of records;
  • restore - restoring a record after soft deletion;
  • forceDelete - permanently deletes a record from the database.
namespace App\Policies;
 
use Illuminate\Auth\Access\HandlesAuthorization;
use App\Models\Post;
use MoonShine\Models\MoonshineUser;
 
class PostPolicy
{
    use HandlesAuthorization;
 
    public function viewAny(MoonshineUser $user)
    {
        return true;
    }
 
    public function view(MoonshineUser $user, Post $item)
    {
        return true;
    }
 
    public function create(MoonshineUser $user)
    {
        return true;
    }
 
    public function update(MoonshineUser $user, Post $item)
    {
        return true;
    }
 
    public function delete(MoonshineUser $user, Post $item)
    {
        return true;
    }
 
    public function restore(MoonshineUser $user, Post $item)
    {
        return true;
    }
 
    public function forceDelete(MoonshineUser $user, Post $item)
    {
        return true;
    }
 
    public function massDelete(MoonshineUser $user)
    {
        return true;
    }
}

Additional logic

If you need to add additional authorization logic to your application or external package, then use the defineAuthorization method in the AuthServiceProvider.

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use MoonShine\Contracts\Resources\ResourceContract;
use MoonShine\MoonShine;
 
public function boot(): void
{
    moonshine()->defineAuthorization(
        static function (ResourceContract $resource, Model $user, string $ability): bool {
            return true;
        }
    );
}
