Variable session timeout based on user level

Is there a way in Laravel to vary the session timeout according to the user type? For example, we might want customers on an e-commerce site to timeout after 20 minutes, but administrators would get a longer timeout to protect them against being logged out halfway through any lengthy processes in the admin. I know Laravel has the lifetime variable in config/session.php, but tha

Odd domain redirecting to my site.

This is an odd one. I rent a server which I host a number of domains on 5 ip addresses. Plesk is used to manage the servers. On one IP address, I had specified a default site. Somebody else had registered a domain, which pointed to this IP address. Because of the default site setting, if you surfed to externalsite.co.uk you would get my default site.

When to use policies

Do you use the laravel policy feature for general business rules or just when it's about what specific users can/cannot do to specific objects? For instance, an e-commerce app should only allow refunding until 10 days after purchase. It does not matter which user is requesting the refund nor which product was purchased. Is that still considered access control logic?
