## What it is
Laratrust is a PHP package for Laravel that manages roles and permissions (RBAC/ACL) for users, with support for multiple user models, teams, caching, and an administration panel. It integrates with Laravel gates and policies and provides middleware for role/permission checks.

## Use cases
- add role-based access control to a Laravel app
- assign multiple roles and permissions to users
- manage permissions per team in a multi-tenant application
- restrict routes with role/permission middleware
- build an admin panel to manage roles and permissions
- cache permission checks for performance
- integrate roles with Laravel gates and policies

## When to choose
- you need RBAC with roles, permissions, and teams in Laravel
- you want multiple user models with different permission sets
- you need an out-of-the-box admin panel for managing roles
- you want permission checks cached and events fired on changes

## When to avoid
- you are not using Laravel or the PHP ecosystem
- you only need simple Laravel built-in gates and policies without roles
- you need fine-grained attribute-based access control (ABAC)
