Entrust
Entrust is a role-based access control library for the Laravel framework and a general permission management system for PHP. It provides a backend tool for linking users to specific roles and permissions to evaluate authorization rules.
The system distinguishes itself through a logic engine capable of complex access rule evaluation, including boolean logic and wildcard-based permission matching. This allows for authorization checks based on pattern matching or requirements where a user must meet all or any of a set of specified permissions.
The library covers route access restriction via middleware and conditional UI visibility to show or hide interface elements based on user authorization. It also includes utilities for role and permission assignment and role-based user filtering through database integration.
