How to hide resources instances from unauthorized users?

Hello there,

With Nova, how would I hide a resource instance, not like setting display in navigation to false, but entirely hiding all posts or another model from a user that does not have access? I am currently using policies to restrict viewing of detail page, but I don't even want it to show up on index for users who are not authorized. There is no method (that I know of) that does this, but how could I make it work?

You can use the viewAny method on the policiy if you want to control if a user can have access to a resource. Docs: https://nova.laravel.com/docs/1.0/resources/authorization.html#policies.

    public function viewAny(User $user)
    {
        return in_array('view-posts', $user->permissions);
    }

There's also a laracasts video about this. https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-nova-mastery/episodes/7
