Basically you have to..
Create your groups
Sentry::getGroupProvider()->create([
'name' => 'Super Administrators',
'permissions' => [
'system' => 1,
],
]);
Sentry::getGroupProvider()->create([
'name' => 'Managers',
'permissions' => [
'system.products' => 1,
'system.store' => 1,
'system.profile' => 1,
],
]);
Set a group to a particular user, in this case it is setting Managers to the current logged user
Sentry::getUser()->addGroup( Sentry::getGroupProvider()->findByName('Managers') );
Check if a user has a particular access
if ( Sentry::getUser()->hasAnyAccess(['system','system.products']) )
{
// Will be able to do a thing
}
Check if a user is Super Administrator (only this group has the 'system' access)
if ( Sentry::getUser()->hasAnyAccess(['system']) )
{
// Will be able to do a thing
}
Get all groups from a particular user
try
{
// Find the user using the user id
$user = Sentry::getUserProvider()->findById(1);
// Get the user groups
$groups = $user->getGroups();
}
catch (Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\UserNotFoundException $e)
{
echo 'User was not found.';
}
