Users

Overview

By default, all App\Models\Users can access Filament locally. To allow them to access Filament in production, you must take a few extra steps to ensure that only the correct users have access to the app.

Authorizing access to the panel

To set up your App\Models\User to access Filament in non-local environments, you must implement the FilamentUser contract:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Filament\Panel;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser
{
// ...

public function canAccessPanel(Panel $panel): bool
{
return str_ends_with($this->email, '@yourdomain.com') && $this->hasVerifiedEmail();
}
}

The canAccessPanel() method returns true or false depending on whether the user is allowed to access the $panel. In this example, we check if the user's email ends with @yourdomain.com and if they have verified their email address.

Setting up user avatars

Out of the box, Filament uses ui-avatars.com to generate avatars based on a user's name. However, if you user model has an avatar_url attribute, that will be used instead. To customize how Filament gets a user's avatar URL, you can implement the HasAvatar contract:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Filament\Models\Contracts\HasAvatar;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser, HasAvatar
{
// ...

public function getFilamentAvatarUrl(): ?string
{
return $this->avatar_url;
}
}

The getFilamentAvatarUrl() method is used to retrieve the avatar of the current user. If null is returned from this method, Filament will fall back to ui-avatars.com.

Using a different avatar provider

You can easily swap out ui-avatars.com for a different service, by creating a new avatar provider.

In this example, we create a new file at app/Filament/AvatarProviders/BoringAvatarsProvider.php for boringavatars.com. The get() method accepts a user model instance and returns an avatar URL for that user:

<?php

namespace App\Filament\AvatarProviders;

use Filament\Facades\Filament;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class BoringAvatarsProvider implements Contracts\AvatarProvider
{
public function get(Model | Authenticatable $record): string
{
$name = str(Filament::getNameForDefaultAvatar($record))
->trim()
->explode(' ')
->map(fn (string $segment): string => filled($segment) ? mb_substr($segment, 0, 1) : '')
->join(' ');

return 'https://source.boringavatars.com/beam/120/' . urlencode($name);
}
}

Now, register this new avatar provider in the configuration:

use App\Filament\AvatarProviders\BoringAvatarsProvider;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
// ...
->defaultAvatarProvider(BoringAvatarsProvider::class);
}

Configuring the user's name attribute

By default, Filament will use the name attribute of the user to display their name in the app. To change this, you can implement the HasName contract:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Filament\Models\Contracts\FilamentUser;
use Filament\Models\Contracts\HasName;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser, HasName
{
// ...

public function getFilamentName(): string
{
return "{$this->first_name} {$this->last_name}";
}
}

The getFilamentName() method is used to retrieve the name of the current user.

Authentication features

You can easily enable authentication features for a panel in the configuration file:

use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
// ...
->login()
->registration()
->passwordReset()
->emailVerification()
->profile();
}

Customizing the authentication features

If you'd like to replace these pages with your own, you can pass in any Filament page class to these methods.

Most people will be able to make their desired customizations by extending the base page class from the Filament codebase, overriding methods like form(), and then passing the new page class in to the configuration:

use App\Filament\Pages\Auth\EditProfile;
use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
// ...
->profile(EditProfile::class);
}

In this example, we will customize the profile page. We need to create a new PHP class at app/Filament/Pages/Auth/EditProfile.php:

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Pages\Auth;

use Filament\Forms\Components\TextInput;
use Filament\Forms\Form;
use Filament\Pages\Auth\EditProfile as BaseEditProfile;

class EditProfile extends BaseEditProfile
{
public function form(Form $form): Form
{
return $form
->schema([
TextInput::make('username')
->required()
->maxLength(255),
$this->getNameFormComponent(),
$this->getEmailFormComponent(),
$this->getPasswordFormComponent(),
$this->getPasswordConfirmationFormComponent(),
]);
}
}

This class extends the base profile page class from the Filament codebase. Other page classes you could extend include:

  • Filament\Pages\Auth\Login
  • Filament\Pages\Auth\Register
  • Filament\Pages\Auth\EmailVerification\EmailVerificationPrompt
  • Filament\Pages\Auth\PasswordReset\RequestPasswordReset
  • Filament\Pages\Auth\PasswordReset\ResetPassword

In the form() method of the example, we call methods like getNameFormComponent() to get the default form components for the page. You can customize these components as required. For all the available customization options, see the base EditProfile page class in the Filament codebase - it contains all the methods that you can override to make changes.

Setting the authentication guard

To set the authentication guard that Filament uses, you can pass in the guard name to the authGuard() configuration method:

use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
// ...
->authGuard('web');
}

Setting the password broker

To set the password broker that Filament uses, you can pass in the broker name to the authPasswordBroker() configuration method:

use Filament\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
// ...
->authPasswordBroker('users');
}
