Laravel Admin Starter

A very simple admin panel for managing users, roles & permissions.

The premise for this package is to eradicate the duplicate work I do for every new Laravel project I setup.

You will get a default user who has the role of admin. You will be able to log into the system with this user and manage all roles and permissions using a simple Bootstrap UI. The default yourapp.local/admin route will be restricted to users with admin role only. You will get a good default to build your application views and backend views separately.

The origin of this package is a fork from appzcoder/laravel-admin by Sohel Amin.

Note: I cloned the original project and created this so that I could remove the CRUD stuff.
