Laravel-filemanager: User with admin role ability to access all user folders

Created on 16 Oct 2017 · 11Comments · Source: UniSharp/laravel-filemanager

Is it possible to grant permission to a specific user (or user with a specific role) to see all folders created when "allow_multi_user" is set to true?

Your code looks good. I tested in my app return '/' and it works. It seems that your problem lays elsewhere. You should check your log to see if there's something else.
For example, does these folders (config.lfm.php) exists and are readable and writeable?

    'base_directory' => 'public',
    'images_folder_name' => 'photos',
    'files_folder_name'  => 'files',

Another thing to check, is this method working hasRole('Admin')? Is it placed in your User model?

I recommend changing user_field in config.lfm.php to something like this:
'user_field' => App\Handlers\LfmConfigHandler::class,
Because if you update the package, you won't lose the changes you've done in userField method.
It will look like this:

namespace App\Handlers;
class LfmConfigHandler extends \Unisharp\Laravelfilemanager\Handlers\ConfigHandler
{
    public function userField()
    {
        if(auth()->user()->hasRole('Admin')){
            return '/';
        }else{
            return '/' . auth()->id();          
        }
    }
}

No easy solution for now. You might have to create a custom middleware, copy codes from src/middlewares/MultiUser.php, and modify yours to fit your requirement. At last you need to copy all codes from src/routes.php , paste them to your route file, and change the middlewares in the route group.

@roniecurto Did it work?

Hey @adriangordon1231,
Yes, it worked for me.

@roniecurto, I tried as you found. However, when I set to return '/'; it bugged. Any help?

@Tarcisiofl, you should paste some piece of code here (handler and config.lfm.php code). This would help us have a better understanding of your problem. Simply returning '/' shouldn't represent an issue at all.

@roniecurto, as you request, I have added the handler and config.lfm.php below.
The problem is when I change it to return '/', the navigation is not working properly!

ConfigHandler

<?php

namespace UniSharp\LaravelFilemanager\Handlers;

class ConfigHandler
{
    public function userField()
    {
        if (auth()->user()->hasRole('Admin')) {
            return '/';
        } else {
            return auth()->user()->id;
        }
    }
}

lfm.php

<?php

Another thing to check, is this method working hasRole('Admin')? Is it placed in your User model?

namespace App\Handlers;
class LfmConfigHandler extends \Unisharp\Laravelfilemanager\Handlers\ConfigHandler
{
    public function userField()
    {
        if(auth()->user()->hasRole('Admin')){
            return '/';
        }else{
            return '/' . auth()->id();          
        }
    }
}
