基于用户角色的Laravel voyager策略

Question

I can't find out how to determine user role in voyager. I am trying to do some policy check based on user role like this:

public function browse(User $user)
{
  $user->role == 'admin';
}

But this returns false ( This action is unauthorized. ) even for user with role admin. I am using laravel 5.6 and voyager 1.1.3

Answer 1

There is no role or role_name in users table in voyager. I have to use role_id

 public function browse(User $user)
    {
     if (  $user->role_id == 1 ) {
     return true;       
     } else {
     return false;      
     }
    }

Is there any way I can use role name?
