Roles in Laravel 6?
Hello!
I'm learning how to use Laravel right now and I have a problem with user roles.
Basically I'd like to show/hide certain links and buttons based on the user role. (The users don't register on my web app however, I'd have to use an existing log-in service).
Should I just use "if" statements that check if a user has a specific role or is there a better way? Are there security concerns if I do it with "if" statements? Also, how would I test this? Is there a way I can give me a specific role without an corresponding account?
best regards

You are going to use a role based system without any users to attach it to?

It's really hard to explain in a post. But basically use existing login system in conjunction with the laravel RBAC system through some custom code.

create a user model in laravel and authenticate the user against the external source.
You then have a user model you can hang roles and permissions off.
How else will you determine each user's rights?
