Middleware For Users Roles and Permissions

Question

I'm wanting to develop some middleware for my Laravel 5 application. I have some criteria for this middleware that I need help thinking about and trying to help understand what could possibly be the best route to handle this tasks.

I have multiple users. And each user has ONE role. Each role has permissions on what they are allowed to do AND I would like to have a way for user's to be able to override their roles permissions and have their specific permissions to them.

This way if I have John Doe who is a Basic User and normal basic users aren't allowed to create an article but I can make it to where in the database that John Doe can then I want to be able to to allow for that.

I hope that is as much information as I needed to provide minus my current database schema which I'm about to provide.

Table: users
Fields: id, username, email, role_id

Table: roles
Fields: id, role, description

Table: permissions
Fields: id, permission, description

Table: permission_role
Fields: id, permission_id, role_id

Strongly recommend you to evaluate Zizaco's Enstrust L5 package. If you need something else or you want to code yourself this, then review the package code for guiadance.
