use SamBenne\Jukumu\Traits\JukumuRoleTrait;

class User extends Model
{
    use Authenticatable, CanResetPassword, JukumuRoleTrait;
}

Once this is in you can use these new methods are automatically made available, within the class:, _(*6)

• has( array $permissions )

There are also a helper class Jukumu that will help with creating the roles and permissions., _(*7)

• Jukumu::createRole( $name, $display_name = NULL, $description = NULL, $order = 0 )
• Jukumu::createPermission( $name, $group = NULL, $display_name = NULL, $description = NULL )
• Jukumu::attachRole( $user, Role $role, array $permissions = [] )
• Jukumu::attachPermissions( Role $role, array $permissions = [] )
