Laravel-adminlte: QUESTION: Menu with 'can' => 'manage-blog',

[santiagoferraz]

I'm trying to show the menu just according to the type of user. I have how to do this in other ways, but I would use type reported in the project, using CAN. Someone has a practical example to show me how I should do this. Have I read the documentation several times and can not get a positive result ???

I was looking for a solution as it wasn't working in my code also. I was using Policy files but Laravel-AdminLTE documentation mention of Gate

This integrates with Laravel's Gate functionality.

So I decided to write a gate for menu only. I added this code in AuthServiceProvider.php

```
public function boot()
{
$this->registerPolicies();

    Gate::define('browse-teacher', function ($user) {

        if ($user->role == 'admin'){
            return true;
        }

        return false;

    });
}

```

My menu is:

   [
        'text'      => 'lms.menu.teachers',
        'url'       => 'admin/teachers',
        'icon'      => 'users',
        'can'       => 'browse-teacher',
    ],

And it work fine :)

I guess its a limitation that it doesn't work with Policy but only gates for the menu is fine with me.
