To dynamically enable or disable two-factor authentication (2FA) based on user roles in Laravel Fortify, you can follow these steps:
1. Add a `role` or `type` column to your `users` table: This will allow you to store the user's role or type in the database.
2. Modify the `User` model to include the role/type attribute:
php
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use TwoFactorAuthenticatable;
/**
* Get the user's role or type.
*
* @return string
*/
public function getRole(): string
{
return $this->role;
}
}
3. Update the `twoFactorAuthentication` method in your `FortifyServiceProvider`:
php
use Laravel\Fortify\Fortify;
public function boot()
{
Fortify::twoFactorAuthentication(function ($request, $user) {
// Check the user's role or type to determine if 2FA should be enabled
if ($user->getRole() === 'admin') {
return true;
}
return false;
});
}
In this example, the `twoFactorAuthentication` method checks the user's role using the `getRole()` method on the `$user` instance. If the user's role is `'admin'`, the method returns `true` to enable 2FA. For all other roles, it returns `false` to disable 2FA.
You can modify the logic in the `twoFactorAuthentication` method to fit your specific requirements. For example, you could have different 2FA settings for different user roles or types.
4. Optionally, you can also provide a way for users to manage their 2FA settings:
Create a view where users can enable or disable 2FA for their account. This view should make a POST request to the `/user/two-factor-authentication` endpoint to toggle the 2FA setting.
html
<form method="POST" action="/user/two-factor-authentication">
@csrf
@if ($user->two_factor_secret)
<button type="submit" name="disable" class="btn btn-danger">
Disable Two-Factor Authentication
</button>
@else
<button type="submit" name="enable" class="btn btn-success">
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
</button>
@endif
</form>
By using this approach, you can dynamically enable or disable two-factor authentication based on the user's role or type, while also providing a way for users to manage their own 2FA settings.
