Authorization

Several things can be configured to have different access based on the user logged in, or the log file in action.

Here are the permissions and how to set them up.

Authorizing Log Viewer access

You can limit who has access to the Log Viewer in several ways.

Via “auth” callback

You can limit access to the Log Viewer by providing a custom authorization callback to the LogViewer::auth() method within your AppServiceProvider, like so:

use Opcodes\LogViewer\Facades\LogViewer;

/**
 * Bootstrap any application services.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function boot()
{
    LogViewer::auth(function ($request) {
        // return true to allow viewing the Log Viewer.
    });

    // Here's an example:
    LogViewer::auth(function ($request) {
        return $request->user()
            && in_array($request->user()->email, [
                // 'john@example.com',
            ]);
    });
}

Via “viewLogViewer” gate

Another easy way to limit access to the Log Viewer is via Laravel Gates. Just define a viewLogViewer authorization gate in your App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider class:

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;
 
/**
 * Register any authentication / authorization services.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function boot()
{
    $this->registerPolicies();
 
    Gate::define('viewLogViewer', function (?User $user) {
        // return true if the user is allowed access to the Log Viewer
    });
}

Authorizing log file download

You can limit the ability to download log files via Laravel Gates. Just define a downloadLogFile authorization gate in your App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider class:

use App\Models\User;
use Opcodes\LogViewer\LogFile;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

/**
 * Register any authentication / authorization services.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function boot()
{
    $this->registerPolicies();
 
    Gate::define('downloadLogFile', function (?User $user, LogFile $file) {
        // return true if the user is allowed to download the specific log file.
    });
}

Authorizing log file deletion

You can limit the ability to delete log files via Laravel Gates. Just define a deleteLogFile authorization gate in your App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider class:

use App\Models\User;
use Opcodes\LogViewer\LogFile;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

/**
 * Register any authentication / authorization services.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function boot()
{
    $this->registerPolicies();
 
    Gate::define('deleteLogFile', function (?User $user, LogFile $file) {
        // return true if the user is allowed to delete the specific log file.
    });
}
