It is a expected behaivor

Count(Permission::findByName($permission_name)->get()) > 0;

that is terrible just to count you bring all the data

Just

return Permission::whereName($permission_name)->count() > 0;

Apologies, was going off another article that said to perform the check that way. Your solution helped!
