+## Crud Policy Trait
+
+by using the `CustomD\LaravelHelpers\Models\Policies\CrudPermissions` trait in your model policy along side Spatie role permissions using wildcard permissions
+you can have your policy look like:
+
+```php
+
+namespace App\Models\Policies;
+
+use App\Models\Policies\Traits\CrudPermissions;
+use Illuminate\Auth\Access\HandlesAuthorization;
+
+class UserPolicy
+{
+    use HandlesAuthorization;
+    use CrudPermissions;
+}
+```
+
+and it will check for the following permissions:
+
+- user.list
+- user.view
+- user.create
+- user.update
+- user.delete
+- user.restore
+
+for user locked based policy permissions you can add the following method to your model:
+`userHasPermission(User $user): bool`
+
 ## Helpers
