## What it is
Entrust is a Laravel package that adds role-based permissions (RBAC) to Laravel applications, providing Role and Permission models, migrations, middleware, and Blade directives. This fork extends the original Zizaco/entrust to support Laravel 9 and 10.

## Use cases
- add role-based permissions to a Laravel app
- restrict routes by user role or permission
- manage many-to-many user role assignments
- check user abilities in Blade templates
- protect routes with role and permission middleware

## When to choose
- you need simple RBAC in a Laravel 9 or 10 project
- you want role/permission checks in Blade and route middleware
- you prefer a lightweight, well-known Laravel authorization package

## When to avoid
- you use Laravel's built-in gates and policies
- you need fine-grained or attribute-based access control
- you're on a framework other than Laravel
- you need a package with frequent active development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: authorization, auth, middleware, orm
- domain: web-development, security, backend
- platform: php
- tags: laravel, roles, permissions, rbac, eloquent, blade-templates, web-server
