I am working on an application that allows users to authenticate with ADLDAP2 which I have working. My next task is to to apply access controls. I want users to have access to certain pages based on their AD group.
For example a user that is a member of the IT group has access to the admin dashboard while another user that is a member of the Shipping group has access to shipping related pages but not the admin dashboard.
I am not sure how I should approach this. Any ideas? Has anyone done this before?
You need authorization for that. Laravel offers you policies and gates. They are perfect for this!
Documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/authorization
Jeffrey also made a tutorial about it! You should check that one out as well: https://laracasts.com/series/whip-monstrous-code-into-shape/episodes/7
This should put you in the right direction ;) Let me know if you have more questions or need examples
