Setting Rules

Rules can be set using the allow() and deny() methods:

$access->allow("admin", "delete-a-user");

$access->deny("moderator", "delete-a-user");

You can then check what a user is able to do with isAllowed():

use Exception;

$userType = "moderator";

if (!$access->isAllowed($userType, "delete-a-user")) {
    throw new Exception("Access denied.");
}

$user->delete();

Even simpler, you can use verify() which will throw an AccessDeniedException if the user is not allowed to do a certain action.

$userType = "moderator";

$access->verify($userType, "delete-a-user");

$user->delete();
