Spatie Permission

[RobertoLanzeni]

Hi guys.
I've extended my app with LdapRecord Package.
First myApp did login with database in local directly from App. Now I've switched to remote login on LDAP server.

I've noticed that i can't retrieve role of single users, because spatie use local DB to get role of each User.
How can I use this package to get which Role() Users have?

Thanks for your reply
Bo

I would love to get some insights in how to do this

Hi @RobertoLanzeni,

By "role" are you referring to "group"? LDAP directories do not contain a representation for roles.

If so, you can utilize the groups() relationship on the included LdapRecord models to check if a user is a member of a particular group to perform authorization:

https://ldaprecord.com/docs/laravel/v3/auth/restricting-login#checking-for-a-single-group

use LdapRecord\Models\ActiveDirectory\User;

$user = User::findOrFail('cn=John Doe,ou=dc=local,dc=com');

$isAdmin = $user->groups()->exists('cn=Administrators,ou=Groups,dc=local,dc=com');
