Seeder

Laratrust comes with a database seeder, this seeder helps you fill the permissions for each role depending on the module, and creates one user for each role.

::: tip NOTE Laratrust now accepts multiple user models so the seeder is going to work with the first user model inside the user_models array. :::

::: tip NOTE Laratrust now has teams feature, the seeder doesn't support it. :::

To generate the seeder you have to run

php artisan laratrust:seeder

and

composer dump-autoload

And in the database/seeds/DatabaseSeeder.php file you have to add this to the run method:

$this->call(LaratrustSeeder::class);

::: tip NOTE If you have not run php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laratrust" you should run it in order to customize the roles, modules and permissions in each case. :::

Your config/laratrust_seeder.php file looks like this:

return [
    'role_structure' => [
        'superadministrator' => [
            'users' => 'c,r,u,d',
            'acl' => 'c,r,u,d',
            'profile' => 'r,u'
        ],
        'administrator' => [
            'users' => 'c,r,u,d',
            'profile' => 'r,u'
        ],
        'user' => [
                'profile' => 'r,u'
        ],
    ],
    'permission_structure' => [
        'cru_user' => [
            'profile' => 'c,r,u'
        ],
    ],
    ...
];

To understand the role_structure you must know:

• The first level is the roles.
• The second level is the modules.
• The second level assignments are the permissions.

With that in mind, you should arrange your roles, modules and permissions like this:

return [
    'role_structure' => [
        'role' => [
            'module' => 'permissions',
        ],
    ]
];

To understand the permission_structure you must know:

• The first level is the users.
• The second level is the modules.
• The second level assignments are the permissions.

With that in mind, you should arrange your users, modules and permissions like this:

return [
    'permission_structure' => [
        'user' => [
            'module' => 'permissions',
        ],
    ]
];

Permissions

In case that you do not want to use the c,r,u,d permissions, in the config/laratrust_seeder.php there the permissions_map where you can change the permissions mapping.
