Use Filament Shield to manage access to Table Actions

Hi,

I did some research and some GPT prompts but found nothing useful so far... Is it possible to block / allow access to Table Actions using Filament Shield? Or will it be better to use

->visible()

->visible()

Cheers, Tee

Solution

try this.

Action::make()->authorize(fn () => Auth::user()->can('view_email'))

Action::make()->authorize(fn () => Auth::user()->can('view_email'))

The actions are tired to the policy. Ie, if the user can’t delete records then the delete action won’t show. Make sure you generated the policy via shield. It’s covered the the shield readme.

do I need to generate the policies again?

generating policies, doesn't handle custom authorizations. For custom actions you will need to add additional methods to the policy and handle the authorizations inside your custom action that check against that policy method. if that makes sense.

in this case though, since you likely don't need this authorization anywhere else you can authorize on the action itself without the policy.
