Introduction

Filament Hexa is an easy-to-use role and permission management plugin for Filament. It lets you manage user roles and access permissions across Resources, Pages, Widgets, and Clusters — with support for multi-panel apps via custom guards and multi-tenancy.

Now in version 3, Hexa supports Filament 4 and 5, multi-panel setups, is easier to use, and is customizable.

How it works

Hexa revolves around a single concept: a gate (a permission key such as user.index).

1. Each Resource / Page / Widget declares the gates it needs via defineGates().
2. Hexa collects every gate from the panel and registers each one with Laravel's Gate.
3. A Role stores the list of gates it grants in a JSON access column.
4. You check access anywhere with hexa()->can('user.index') or Laravel's native authorization.

Superuser rule

If a user has no assigned role, they are treated as a Superuser and can access every defined permission. This prevents you from being locked out before any role exists.

Free vs Pro

There is a free trial edition, Hexa Lite, with a reduced feature set. This documentation covers the Pro edition, which adds widget permissions, custom gates, role/gate descriptions, display ordering, and the meta option store.
