How can I group multiple roles into one role?

[Restingo]

Hi,

I want to ask how I can group multiple roles into one? For example I've got multiple reports in my application like:

• Sales (sales.create, sales.update, ...)
• Purchases (purchases.create, purchases.update, ...)

and I got roles like

• Salesadministrator (all sales permissions)
• Purchasesadministrator (all purchase permissions)

and I want to group them in a role that is named like

• Accountant (Salesadministrator, Purchasesadministrator)

How can I do this? I already added the HasRoles trait to Roles model but it doesn't work. Thank you.

Did you add the role_id on the Roles as foreing key?

You don't need HasRoles, on Roles you only need

public function roles() {
    return $this->hasMany(
        config('permission.models.role'),
        'role_id',
        'id'
    );
)

Now when you assign, find all roles with childs

$ids=[];
Roles::with('roles')->whereIn($ids_to_assign)->get()->each(function($role)use(&$ids){
    $ids[]=$role->id;
    $ids=array_merge($ids,$role->roles->pluck('id')->toArray());
});
$user->syncRoles(array_unique($ids));

Hi @erikn69,

thanks for your fast reply. Would it be possible to keep the roles instead of looking them up and assigning them directly? I want to clean up my whole role construct with this as I have many roles. So that I can assign only the role Accountant to my user and the user automatically has all permissions of the child roles but if I look up the roles of the user it only gives me Accountant?

Maybe overriding hasRole or overriding cache remember adding group roles
