    namespace App\Admin\Controllers;

    use OpenAdmin\Admin\Controllers\AdminController;
    use OpenAdmin\Admin\Form;
    use OpenAdmin\Admin\Grid;
    use OpenAdmin\Admin\Show;
    use App\Models\Page;

    class PageController extends AdminController
    {
        protected $title = 'Page';

        protected function grid()
        {
            $grid = new Grid(new Page());
            $grid->sortable();
            $grid->column('id', __('Id'));
            $grid->column('title', __('Title'));
            $grid->column('body', __('Body'));
            //...

            return $grid;
        }

        protected function detail($id)
        {
            $show = new Show(Page::findOrFail($id));

            $show->field('id', __('Id'));
            $show->field('type', __('Type'));
            $show->field('title', __('Title'));
            $show->field('body', __('Body'));
            // ...

            return $show;
        }

        protected function form()
        {
            $form = new Form(new Page());

            $form->number('rank', __('Rank'));
            $form->text('type', __('Type'));
            $form->text('title', __('Title'));
            $form->ckeditor('body', __('Body'));
            // ...

            return $form;
        }
    }

User & right

Open-admin out of the box has a right system that allows you to control what pages users can access.

Besides that you can create roles and assign rights. Also it's possible to assign individual rights to a user.

In your controller you restrict access by using the following checks.

use OpenAdmin\Admin\Auth\Permission;

Permission::check('create-page');
