There are several packages available for implementing role and permission functionality in Laravel projects. Some popular ones include:

  1. Spatie Laravel Permission: This package provides a simple and flexible way to manage roles and permissions in Laravel. It allows you to define permissions for different roles and assign those roles to users. It also provides a middleware for protecting routes based on user roles.

  2. Entrust: This package provides a simple way to add role-based permissions to your Laravel application. It allows you to define roles and permissions and assign them to users. It also provides a middleware for protecting routes based on user roles.

  3. Laravel ACL: This package provides a complete ACL (Access Control List) solution for Laravel. It allows you to define roles and permissions and assign them to users. It also provides a middleware for protecting routes based on user roles.

Ultimately, the best package for your project will depend on your specific requirements and preferences. It's recommended to try out a few different packages and see which one works best for you.

Example usage of Spatie Laravel Permission:

// Define a role
$role = Role::create(['name' => 'admin']);

// Define a permission
$permission = Permission::create(['name' => 'edit articles']);

// Assign the permission to the role
$role->givePermissionTo($permission);

// Assign the role to a user
$user->assignRole('admin');

// Check if a user has a permission
$user->hasPermissionTo('edit articles');

and easy to use to different type of users??

Authentication and authorization is not easy to learn there is a steep learning curve.

Even Jeffrey mentions it's a learning curve in one of his videos but states that once you have learned it it becomes much easier.

Pick a stack that suits your application needs, my preference is, I use manual Authentication implemented as the documentation shows.

A lot of users use spatie. https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission
