Is Laravel 5.1 Authorization is enough to handle Multiple roles of user

The Laravel 5.1 Authorization does not have roles out of the box so you have to either create it yourself or use a package.

As for packages, kodeine/laravel-acl, Zizaco/entrust, romanbican/roles are some of those I know.

The database structure for users and roles should be many to many. A user can have many roles and you have more control over the roles.

Thanks @Ruffles , I like this https://github.com/romanbican/roles one, what you think? since its support 5.1.

@saqueib These and other packages are just waste of time, i tried them myself, they will not give you result which you want. It's better to develop them in your own way and the guideline in @heera's tutorial are best to get started:

@saqueib I believe all packages conflict with the authorizable trait because the traits have a conflicting can() method. It's an easy fix, but just giving you a heads up. Also, yes, it's a nice package. If you like it, go ahead and try it out.

I am going to try first to implement roles on my own, as i can see the permission part is already there in 5.1 Authorization only roles need to be created. I think it will be lot easier to maintain in long term.

If nothing workout there is always https://github.com/romanbican/roles package.
