Get all permissions for a user

[glewe]

User can have personal permissions and group-based permissions. Currently, if I am not missing something, there is no function to list all of them together.

You can use $user->can() to check on a single permission out of all or use $user->getPermissions() to get personal permissions only. I suggest to add a function $user->getAllPermissions() to get them all.

I helped myself with a little helper function like so:

/**
  * Gets group based and user based permissions for a given user ID.
  *
  * @param int $id - User ID to check
  * @return array - Array of Shield permissions
  */
function getAllUserPermissions($id = null)
{
    if (!$id) throw new \RuntimeException('Users must be created before getting their permissions.');

    $user = model(UserModel::class)->find($id);

    //
    // Get personal permissions
    //
    $permissions = $user->getPermissions();

    //
    // Add group based permissions
    //
    $groups = $user->getGroups();
    foreach ($groups as $g) {
        $groupPermissions = config('AuthGroups')->matrix[$g];
        foreach ($groupPermissions as $gp) {
            $permissions[] = $gp;
        }
    }

    return $permissions;
}
