How to manage roles and permissions ?
Hi, I'm currently working on my first Filament app, and I need to include roles and permissions, but I have no idea what the best way to do it is.
I have two panels, one for admins and one for users. All resources are shared between both panels (my understanding of the relationship between panels and resources is still limited), but users need to have restricted permissions on these resources, unlike admins. At the moment, I have a "role" column in my "users" table, but I'm not really sure how to implement the rest. I've seen plugins for handling this, but I'm not sure if they fit my needs. A quick explanation of the roles and permissions landscape would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Are you familiar with Policies in Laravel?

Yes I am, but the thing is did I need like a "roles" table ? I don't know what's the best practice in Filament.
Try #shield
Ok, but Shield README doesn't specify the creation of a "role" column in the User model or something else, so there is nothing to do except adding the "HasRoles" trait to the User model ?
shield depends on
