Setup

you need to extend your User model from Aries\LaravelRbac\Models\User like this:

namespace App/Models;
...
use Aries\LaravelRbac\Models\User as RbacUser;
...
class User extends RbacUser
{
...

Creating a role and assign it to user

you can create role for a user like this:

$user = App\Models\User::first();

$user->roles()->create([
    'name' => 'role-name',
    'label' => 'optional role label'
]);

also you can sync user roles with existing roles like this:

$user = App\Models\User::first();

$roles = Aries\LaravelRbac\Models\Role::all()->pluck('id')->toArray();

$user->roles()->attach($roles);

Create Ability and assign it to a role

you can create an ability like this:

$ability = Aries\LaravelRbac\Models\Ability::create([
    'name' => 'ability-name',
    'label' => 'optional ability label'
]);

also you can create an ability throgh role model like this:

$role = Aries\LaravelRbac\Models\Role::first();

$role->abilities()->create([...]);

or you can assign many existing abilities to a role like this:

$abilities = Aries\LaravelRbac\Models\Ability::all()->pluck('id')->toArray();

$role = Aries\LaravelRbac\Models\Role::first();

$role->abilities()->attach($abilities);

Usage

read official document for Gate and Policy.
also you can check a user has a role or ability throgh user model:

$user = App\Models\User::first();

$user->hasRole('role-name') # return bool

$user->hasAbility('ability-name') # return bool
