How to create a Laravel Nova Gate/Policy to restrict access to Nova tools?

Question

How can I create a policy/gate to restrict users from accessing Nova tools (e.g. Spatie Nova Backup Tool)?

Answer 1

I had the same issue and I resolved it like this.

1. Go to NovaServiceProvider

2. Add a gate/check in the tools() method

   public function tools()
   
   {
   
       if (Auth::user()->hasAnyRole(['admin'])) {
           return [new Foo, new Bar];
       }
   
       return [];
   }
   

This will solve the issue but I am not sure wether this is the Nova way of doing it or not.
