Sentinel is a PHP 8.3+ framework-agnostic authentication and authorization library by Cartalyst. It provides user authentication, roles, permissions, and additional security features, with tight Laravel integration.
Use cases
- add login and registration to a PHP application
- manage user roles and permissions
- implement authentication in a Laravel project without Laravel's built-in auth
- add password reset and account activation flows
- control access to resources based on user permissions
When to avoid
- you are not using PHP
- you prefer Laravel's built-in authentication scaffolding
- you need OAuth/social login out of the box
