laravel-permission VS laravel-backup

For example, let's take look at the metrics for Spatie's Laravel Permission package at the time of this writing:

I am not sure how Passport would be used for handling permissions, Passport is for authentication. I would recommend using Laravel Permission to handle your requirements. You can assign roles to users to scope out general permissions but ultimately the permissions are what should be used to limit functionality.

If I remember correctly Spatie's permissions package allows for logic like "let this specific user edit models of this type" but does not allow for logic like "let this specific user edit only that specific model".

Despite this I pointed in the conversation above a super interesting point made by the guys at Spatie making the Laravel permissions package, where they recommend to encapsulate the authorization logic inside policies, and it is a great way to keep things clean, but in this case its not straightforward to do so, at least not if we follow the pure "Laravel-way" of doing things.

In this article, we'll be using the Laravel Permission package from Spatie.

There are a few open source Laravel packages for managing roles and permissions. See https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission or https://github.com/JosephSilber/bouncer.

In my case I'm dumping + zipping the entire database at the application level. In my case is as simple as adding a library [1], scheduling the job and transferring to AWS S3 (my main application is on DigitalOcean)
