How to Create Multiple User Authentication in Laravel 9 App

Step 1: Install Laravel 9 App

Open the terminal and execute the below command to download the laravel fresh setup on your system:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel LaraMulti

Step 2: Connecting App to Database

After successfully download laravel Application, Go to your project .env file and set up database credential:

  DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
  DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
  DB_PORT=3306 
  DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
  DB_USERNAME=here database username here
  DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Step 3: Setting up migration and model

Next, add is_admin column in the users table using mirgration file. So, Open the creates_users_table.php migration file, which is placed on Database/migration and update the following field for admin.

<?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');
    }
};

Next open app/User.php and update the below field name is_admin here:

Now, add is_admin filed after that will use the below command for creating this field into the database.

php artisan migrate

Now, create a build-in authentication system. Use the below command for creating the default auth system in laravel. And change laravel build-in auth system to multi auth system

This command will create routes, controllers and views files for Laravel Login Authentication and registration. It means to provide a basic laravel login authentication and registration Complete system. Let’s open the command prompt and type the below command.

Then install laravel 9 UI in your project using the below command:

 composer require laravel/ui 

Now, execute the below command on terminal for creating login, registration, forget password and reset password blade files:

 php artisan ui bootstrap --auth 

Then execute the following commands:

npm install
npm run dev

Step 4: Create Middleware and Setting up

To create a middleware for checking the users. Who can access the admin area or who can access the normal user area.

php artisan make:middleware UserAccess

After creating a middleware go-to app/Http/middleware. Implement the logic here for checking a logged in users. Update the code in this handle function.

Then register this middleware in the app/Http/Kernel.php. So, open kernal.php and add the following $routeMiddleware property in it:

Step 5: Define Route

Create routes and add it on web.php file as like below.

Open routes/web.php file

<?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 6: Create Methods in Controller

Now open the HomeController.php file, which is placed on app/Http/Controllers/ directory. Then add the following code into it:

Step 7: Create Blade View

Now, create two blade view files first is display home page and second is display after login.

Open the resources/views/home.blade. file and update the below code.

Now, I checked the user profile. If it is admin, it will navigate to the admin area. Otherwise, it will redirect to users area.

Create adminHome.blade.php file inside resources/views/ directory and update the following code:

Create managerHome.blade.php file inside resources/views/ directory and update the following code:

Step 8: Update on LoginController

Update methods in loginController, so go to app/Http/Controllers/Auth/ and open loginController.php file and add the following code into it:

Step 9: Create Seeder

Run the following command on terminal to create seeders; is as follows:

php artisan make:seeder CreateUsersSeeder

Then visit to database/seeders/ directory and open CreateUsersSeeder.php. And add the following code into it:

<?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'=>'admin@tutsmake.com',
               'type'=>1,
               'password'=> bcrypt('123456'),
            ],
            [
               'name'=>'Manager User',
               'email'=>'manager@tutsmake.com',
               'type'=> 2,
               'password'=> bcrypt('123456'),
            ],
            [
               'name'=>'User',
               'email'=>'user@tutsmake.com',
               'type'=>0,
               'password'=> bcrypt('123456'),
            ],
        ];
    
        foreach ($users as $key => $user) {
            User::create($user);
        }
    }
}

Execute the following command on terminal to seed from seeders; is as follows:

php artisan db:seed --class=CreateUsersSeeder

Step 10: Run development server

Now, start the development server using the below command and test our laravel multi user role based auth system:

php artisan serve
