Laravel and spatie/laravel-permission

Question

whats the best or the usual way to remove all roles from a user?

I tried

$roles = $user->getRoleNames(); $user->removeRole($roles);

Return value of App\User::getStoredRole() must implement interface Spatie\Permission\Contracts\Role, instance of Illuminate\Support\Collection returned

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Use the plain Laravel detach method like so:

$user->roles()->detach();

Answer 2

I dod it now in this way $user->removeRole($user->roles->first());

Answer 3

From reading the documentation it clearly says that you can pass a Collection instance to the removeRole so I think you are doing it right.

The assignRole, hasRole, hasAnyRole, hasAllRoles and removeRole functions can accept a string, a \Spatie\Permission\Models\Role object or an \Illuminate\Support\Collection object.

Answer 4

You can also remove all roles by syncing to an empty array, like so.

$user->syncRoles([]);

I confirmed it works on version 5.8.

Answer 5

This works fine even on Laravel 7

For Roles: $user->syncRoles([]);

For Permissions: $user->syncPermissions([]);

Answer 6

From Spatie documentation you can find ther is a way to remove all previous roles and assign new roles with simple

$user->syncRoles($roles);
