How to add condition to the Roles retrieved by logged user

Question

I am using Spatie RBAC in my Laravel-5.8 application

I have this code in my user controller and view:

UserController

public function create()
{
    $roles = Role::get()->pluck('name', 'name');
    return view('admin.users.create', compact('roles','companies'));
}

public function edit(User $user)
{
    $companies = OrgCompany::all();
    $roles = Role::get()->pluck('name', 'name');

    return view('admin.users.edit', compact('roles', 'user','companies'));
}

view

<div class="form-group {{ $errors->has('roles') ? 'has-error' : '' }}">
    <label for="roles">
        {{ trans('global.user.fields.roles') }}*
        <span class="btn btn-info btn-xs select-all">Select all</span>
        <span class="btn btn-info btn-xs deselect-all">Deselect all</span>
    </label>
    <select name="roles[]" id="roles" class="form-control select2" multiple="multiple">
        @foreach($roles as $id => $roles)
            <option value="{{ $id }}" {{ (in_array($id, old( 'roles', [])) || isset($user) && $user->roles->contains($id)) ? 'selected' : '' }}> {{ $roles }}
        </option>
        @endforeach
    </select>

    @if($errors->has('roles'))
        <p class="help-block">
            {{ $errors->first('roles') }}
        </p>
    @endif
</div>

If the Role of the logged in user is not "Super Admin", the role select dropdown should retrieve other roles except "Super Admin". But if the logged in user is "Super Admin", it should retrieve all the roles including "Super Admin".

You can filter the Roles by using when if the $request->user doesn't have the role Super Admin

public function create(Request $request)
{
    $roles = Role::query()
        ->when(! $request->user->hasRole('Super Admin'), function($query) {
            return $query->where('name', '!=', 'Super Admin');
        })
        ->get()
        ->pluck('name', 'name');

    return view('admin.users.create', compact('roles','companies'));
}

public function edit(Request $request, User $user)
{
    $companies = OrgCompany::all();
    $roles = Role::query()
        ->when(! $request->user->hasRole('Super Admin'), function($query) {
            return $query->where('name', '!=', 'Super Admin');
        })
        ->get()
        ->pluck('name', 'name');

    return view('admin.users.edit', compact('roles', 'user','companies'));
}
