Laravel 9 Multi Auth: Create Multiple Authentication in Laravel

https://www.itsolutionstuff.com/post/laravel-9-multi-auth-create-multiple-authentication-in-laravelexample.html

Hi Dev,

This tutorial is focused on laravel 9 multi auth. I would like to show you laravel 9 multiple authentication. you'll learn multiple authentication in laravel 9. it's a simple example of laravel 9 multiple authentication using middleware. So, let's follow a few steps to create an example of laravel 9 multiple auth middleware.

I have written many tutorials about multi authentication in laravel. in this tutorial, we will create a multi auth very simple way using middleware with a single table. if you want to create multiple authentications using guard then you can follow this tutorial: Laravel multi auth example using Auth guard from scratch and if you want to create multiple authentications with laravel using role and middleware than you can follow this tuto: Laravel 5 - Simple user access control using Middleware

However, In this example, we will add the following three types of users as below:

1) User

2) Manager

3) Admin

When we log in as admin then it will redirect on admin routes, If you log in as manager then it will redirect on manager routes.

So, let's see follow simple steps:

Step 1: Install Laravel 9

This is optional; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Database Configuration

In second step, we will make database configuration for example database name, username, password etc for our crud application of laravel 9. So let's open .env file and fill all details like as bellow:

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysqlDB_HOST=127.0.0.1DB_PORT=3306DB_DATABASE=here your database name(blog)DB_USERNAME=here database username(root)DB_PASSWORD=here database password(root)

Step 3: Update Migration and Model

In this step, we need to add new row "type" in users table and model. than we need to run migration. so let's change that on both file.

database/migrations/000_create_users_table.php

<?php  use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;  return new class extends Migration{    /**     * Run the migrations.     *     * @return void     */    public function up()    {        Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {            $table->id();            $table->string('name');            $table->string('email')->unique();            $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();            $table->string('password');            $table->tinyInteger('type')->default(0);            /* Users: 0=>User, 1=>Admin, 2=>Manager */            $table->rememberToken();            $table->timestamps();        });    }      /**     * Reverse the migrations.     *     * @return void     */    public function down()    {        Schema::dropIfExists('users');    }};

Now we need to run migration.

so let's run bellow command:

php artisan migrate

Let's update User Model as below code:

app/Models/User.php

<?php  namespace App\Models;  use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Casts\Attribute;  class User extends Authenticatable{    use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;      /**     * The attributes that are mass assignable.     *     * @var array     */    protected $fillable = [        'name',        'email',        'password',        'type'    ];      /**     * The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.     *     * @var array     */    protected $hidden = [        'password',        'remember_token',    ];      /**     * The attributes that should be cast.     *     * @var array     */    protected $casts = [        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',    ];     /**     * Interact with the user's first name.     *     * @param  string  $value     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Casts\Attribute     */    protected function type(): Attribute    {        return new Attribute(            get: fn ($value) =>  ["user", "admin", "manager"][$value],        );    }}

Step 4: Create Auth using scaffold

Now, in this step, we will create auth scaffold command to create login, register and dashboard. so run following commands:

Laravel 9 UI Package:

composer require laravel/ui 

Generate Auth:

php artisan ui bootstrap --auth 

npm install

npm run dev

Step 5: Create UserAccess Middleware

In this step, we require to create user access middleware that will restrict users to access that page. so let's create and update code.

php artisan make:middleware UserAccess

app/Http/middleware/UserAccess.php

<?php  namespace App\Http\Middleware;  use Closure;use Illuminate\Http\Request;  class UserAccess{    /**     * Handle an incoming request.     *     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request     * @param  \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse)  $next     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse     */    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next, $userType)    {        if(auth()->user()->type == $userType){            return $next($request);        }                  return response()->json(['You do not have permission to access for this page.']);        /* return response()->view('errors.check-permission'); */    }}

app/Http/Kernel.php

....protected $routeMiddleware = [    'auth' => \App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate::class,    'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,    'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,    'cache.headers' => \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\SetCacheHeaders::class,    'can' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,    'guest' => \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,    'signed' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ValidateSignature::class,    'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,    'verified' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified::class,    'user-access' => \App\Http\Middleware\UserAccess::class,];....

Step 6: Create Routes

Here, We will add following routes group where you can create new routes for users, admins and manager access. let's update code:

routes/web.php

<?php  use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;  use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;  /*|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Web Routes|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!|*/  Route::get('/', function () {    return view('welcome');});  Auth::routes();  /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------All Normal Users Routes List----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/Route::middleware(['auth', 'user-access:user'])->group(function () {      Route::get('/home', [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');});  /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------All Admin Routes List----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/Route::middleware(['auth', 'user-access:admin'])->group(function () {      Route::get('/admin/home', [HomeController::class, 'adminHome'])->name('admin.home');});  /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------All Admin Routes List----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/Route::middleware(['auth', 'user-access:manager'])->group(function () {      Route::get('/manager/home', [HomeController::class, 'managerHome'])->name('manager.home');}); 

Step 7: Update Controller

Here, we need add adminHome() and managerHome method for admin route in HomeController. so let's add like as bellow:

app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php

<?php  namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request;  class HomeController extends Controller{    /**     * Create a new controller instance.     *     * @return void     */    public function __construct()    {        $this->middleware('auth');    }      /**     * Show the application dashboard.     *     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable     */    public function index()    {        return view('home');    }       /**     * Show the application dashboard.     *     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable     */    public function adminHome()    {        return view('adminHome');    }      /**     * Show the application dashboard.     *     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable     */    public function managerHome()    {        return view('managerHome');    }}

Step 8: Create Blade file

In this step, we need to create new blade file for admin and update for user blade file. so let's change it.

resources/views/home.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')  @section('content')<div class="container">    <div class="row justify-content-center">        <div class="col-md-8">            <div class="card">                <div class="card-header">{{ __('Dashboard') }}</div>                  <div class="card-body">                    @if (session('status'))                        <div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">                            {{ session('status') }}                        </div>                    @endif                      You are a User.                </div>            </div>        </div>    </div></div>@endsection

resources/views/adminHome.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')  @section('content')<div class="container">    <div class="row justify-content-center">        <div class="col-md-8">            <div class="card">                <div class="card-header">{{ __('Dashboard') }}</div>                  <div class="card-body">                    You are a Admin User.                </div>            </div>        </div>    </div></div>@endsection

resources/views/managerHome.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')@section('content')<div class="container">    <div class="row justify-content-center">        <div class="col-md-8">            <div class="card">                <div class="card-header">{{ __('Dashboard') }}</div>                  <div class="card-body">                    You are a Manager User.                </div>            </div>        </div>    </div></div>@endsection

Step 9: Update on LoginController

In this step, we will change on LoginController, when user will login than we redirect according to user access. if normal user than we will redirect to home route and if admin user than we redirect to admin route. so let's change.

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php

<?php  namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;  use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;use Illuminate\Http\Request;  class LoginController extends Controller{    /*    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------    | Login Controller    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------    |    | This controller handles authenticating users for the application and    | redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait    | to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications.    |    */      use AuthenticatesUsers;      /**     * Where to redirect users after login.     *     * @var string     */    protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;      /**     * Create a new controller instance.     *     * @return void     */    public function __construct()    {        $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');    }     public function login(Request $request)    {           $input = $request->all();             $this->validate($request, [            'email' => 'required|email',            'password' => 'required',        ]);             if(auth()->attempt(array('email' => $input['email'], 'password' => $input['password'])))        {            if (auth()->user()->type == 'admin') {                return redirect()->route('admin.home');            }else if (auth()->user()->type == 'manager') {                return redirect()->route('manager.home');            }else{                return redirect()->route('home');            }        }else{            return redirect()->route('login')                ->with('error','Email-Address And Password Are Wrong.');        }              }}

Step 10: Create Seeder

We will create seeder for create new admin and normal user. so let's create seeder using following command:

php artisan make:seeder CreateUsersSeeder

database/seeders/CreateUsersSeeder.php

<?php  namespace Database\Seeders;  use Illuminate\Database\Console\Seeds\WithoutModelEvents;use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;use App\Models\User;  class CreateUsersSeeder extends Seeder{    /**     * Run the database seeds.     *     * @return void     */    public function run()    {        $users = [            [               'name'=>'Admin User',               'email'=>'[e-mail]',               'type'=>1,               'password'=> bcrypt('123456'),            ],            [               'name'=>'Manager User',               'email'=>'[e-mail]',               'type'=> 2,               'password'=> bcrypt('123456'),            ],            [               'name'=>'User',               'email'=>'[e-mail]',               'type'=>0,               'password'=> bcrypt('123456'),            ],        ];            foreach ($users as $key => $user) {            User::create($user);        }    }}

Now let's run seeder:

php artisan db:seed --class=CreateUsersSeeder

Run Laravel App:

All the required steps have been done, now you have to type the given below command and hit enter to run the Laravel app:

php artisan serve

Now, Go to your web browser, type the given URL and view the app output:

http://localhost:8000/

Now, Let's login with following credentials:

Normal User:

Email: [e-mail]: 123456

Admin User:

Email: [e-mail]: 123456

Manager User:
