Auth Component extends the functionality of Illuminate\Auth with the extra functionality to retrieve users' role. This is important when we want to manage application Access Control List (ACL).

To install through composer, run the following command from terminal:
composer require "orchestra/auth"Next replace Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider with the following service provider in config/app.php.
'providers' => [
// ...
Orchestra\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
Orchestra\Authorization\AuthorizationServiceProvider::class,
Orchestra\Memory\MemoryServiceProvider::class,
],
CommandServiceProviderare optional, useful for interaction using the Artisan command line tool.
To make development easier, you could add Orchestra\Support\Facades\ACL alias for easier reference:
'aliases' => [
'ACL' => Orchestra\Support\Facades\ACL::class,
],
