Authorization Points in the Laravel Framework (Where Authorization Takes Place)

In the Laravel framework, authorization can be implemented in the following places:

• Using the can Middleware: This middleware allows for permission checks at the route level, providing an easy way to ensure that the user has the required authorization.
• Using the authorize Method in Form Request Validation Classes: The authorize method is used to determine whether the user is authorized to make a given request. Note that if you generate a form request validation class using the php artisan command, it will come with a default return false in the authorize method.
• Using authorize, can, or cannot Methods in Controller Actions: Within controller methods, you can use these methods to check if the user has the required permissions before performing an action.
• Using @can and @cannot Directives in Blade Templates: These Blade directives allow you to conditionally display content based on whether the user has a specific ability or permission.
• Using Sanctum Token Abilities: When using Sanctum for API authentication, you can define and check token abilities to manage access at a granular level.
