I get asked this question quite often: in which cases it's better to use a roles/permissions package instead of the default Gates/Policies in Laravel?

Laravel Daily

Explains when to use the spatie/laravel-permission package versus Laravel's built-in gates and policies. For simple projects with static roles and permissions, Laravel's native features suffice. However, complex projects with multiple roles, granular permissions, or dynamic permission management benefit from the spatie package, which stores permissions in the database. The package enables admin-managed role assignments through UI but requires additional implementation for data filtering through global scopes.
