Change role on user

Maybe after user selected role, you keep the role in session then use session data to filter role.

Auth::user()->roles->where('name', Session::get('selected_role'))

Hi!

I get my selected role from my blade form:

public function selectrole(Request $request)
    {
        // Get selected role and startlist 
        $valgtrolle = $request->valgrolle;

        // Set new role
        ???????
        //Auth::user()->roles->where('name', Session::get('selected_role'))

        switch ($valgtrolle) {
            case 1:
                return redirect('admin/dashboard1');
              break;
            case 2:
                return redirect('admin/dashboard2');
              break;
            case 3:
                return redirect('admin/dashboard3');
              break;
            case 4:
                return redirect('admin/dashboard4');
              break;
            case 5:
                return redirect('admin/dashboard5');
              break;
            case 6:
                return redirect('admin/dashboard6');
              break;
            default:
               return redirect('admin/dashboard');
          }
    }

Hi!

Thank you for trying t help me with this big problem. Try to anderstand what role laravel use on login, if user have example 3 roles registred to role_user table.

role_table
********

user_id = 2
role_id = 1

user_id = 2
role_id = 4

user_id = 2
role_id = 2

When i login, laravel uses example role_id=1

So if i want role_id=4, i select this from my form. And this part is working fine.

But i must set the default role to role_id=4

Cant figer out how ?

Hi, I am new to this forum. But I have been a regular reader for quite sometime. Noticed this post and thought of joining.

I am having the same issue for sometime. Have tried various methods switching 2 and 3 role_id's but stuck at the same place where @birdietorerik is now.

The only possible way is switching the id's in the session, as you have already passed the middleware. Any suggestion to store this in session ( Session::put ) and regenerate the session? Or to Session::forget the unwanted id's??

Thanks @birdietorerik for bringing this up.

There are many other ways to achieve this before the middleware, then you have to logout and login again.

Hi!

When user fill out username and password. And user hit Login-button.

It fires this controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Response;

class LoginController extends Controller
{
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Login Controller
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This controller handles authenticating users for the application and
    | redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait
    | to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications.
    |
    */

    use AuthenticatesUsers;

    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login.
     *
     * @var string
     */

    //protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;
    

    public function redirectTo() {

        //$user = User::find(2);
        //$roles = Role::pluck('name','name')->all();
        //$userRole = $user->roles->pluck('name','name')->all();
        
        //dump($userRole);
         return 'roller';
    }
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
         
        $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
    }

    /**
     * The user has logged out of the application.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    protected function loggedOut(Request $request)
    {
        if ($request->wantsJson()) {
            return response(null, Response::HTTP_NO_CONTENT);
        }
    }
}

It call this -> use AuthenticatesUsers;

Try to figer out where this AuthenticatesUsers is located in the system.

Cant figer out where in laravel this ->AuthenticatesUsers is ?
