Access Control List
Previously we looked at how to set up a basic authentication system. In this chapter; we’re going to
continue to improve the authentication system by adding what’s called ACL (Access Control List)
to the authentication layer.

The code for this chapter can be found at: https://github.com/formativ/tutorial-laravel-4-acl
Managing Groups
We’re going to be creating an interface for adding, modifying and deleting user groups. Groups will
be the containers to which we add various users and resources. We’ll do that by create a migration
and a model for groups, but we’re also going to optimise the way we create migrations.
Refactoring Migrations
We’ve got a few more migrations to create in this tutorial; so it’s a good time for us to refactor our
approach to creating them…
