How do I check User Role before Logging in A user with Spatie's Laravel-Permission?

Question

I'm using Spatie's "Laravel Permission" Package for the ACL. Everything is working perfectly. I now want to allow only the User roles 2 and 3 to Login.

Previously, before using "Laravel Permission" package I had only this "role" column on my table and I could easily Log In a user with this line of code on Login Controller's credentials method.

protected function credentials(Request $request)
{
$credentials = $request->only($this->username(), 'password');
//$credentials['role'] = '1';
return $credentials;
}

$credentials = $request->only($this->username(), 'password');
$credentials['role'] = '1';

How do I allow Login only for the 2 and 3 User Roles?

You could go with the workaround as follow:

If you're using the default LoginController from the App\Http\Controllers\Auth folder, then override its attemptLogin() method that comes from the Trait used.

    protected function attemptLogin(Request $request)
    {
        if( $this->guard()->attempt(
            $this->credentials($request), $request->filled('remember')
        ) ) { // Credential auth was successful
            // Get user model
            $user = Auth::user();
            return $user->hasRole([2, 3]); // Check if user has role ids 2 or 3
        }

        return false;
    }

hasRoles() method comes from the HasRoles trait used for the User model.
