Set administrators

Go to your database, find the users table and choose administrators by setting the role_admin column into 1. Additionally, set the supar_admin column into 1 for those who are eligible. If you have different types of users in your project, feel free to add more role_ columns for future development.

During development

During development, you have to add all the resources you want to be managed into the array $booleanOptions of the fields() function in the app/Nova/Admin.php nova resource.

Before switching a project to the production state

Go into the NovaServiceProvider.php file and add the next logic into the gate() function

Gate::define('viewNova', function ($user) {
    return $user->role_admin;
});
