Review the package config and policy setup in the README to map your roles and permissions.
- Can I customize the BizAdmin dashboard and CRUD views?

- How do I test BizAdmin routes and CRUD workflows?
- Test BizAdmin using your Laravel application's test suite, just as you would test other admin features. Write feature tests for admin routes, CRUD actions, and authorization rules, and use Laravel's testing helpers for authentication and policies. This helps confirm that access control and business workflows behave correctly.

- How do I keep BizAdmin updated and maintain customizations?
- Follow the repository and README for release notes and upgrade guidance. Because views and assets are publishable, keep your customizations in your application and review changes before updating. Pin the package version in composer.json and test upgrades in a staging environment first.
