Override Permissions for Super Admin

If you've defined your Gates but want to override all permissions for SUPER ADMIN user, to give that superadmin ALL permissions, you can intercept gates with Gate::before() statement, in AuthServiceProvider.php file.

 1// Intercept any Gate and check if it's super admin
 2Gate::before(function($user, $ability) {
 3    if ($user->is_super_admin == 1) {
 4        return true;
 5    }
 6});
 7 
 8// Or if you use some permissions package...
 9Gate::before(function($user, $ability) {
10    if ($user->hasPermission('root')) {
11        return true;
12    }
13});
