You're missing some things I think: isATeamManager always returns true ...

I have never used that Form::input functionality. I just do a @if in my view to check the value.

Try:

public function isATeamManager($user_id)
    {

$return = true;

if ($user_id == 1) {
        $return = true;
}

return $return;

    }

Then to test: in your controller:

if (Auth::user()->isATeamManager("1"))

to return true.

if (Auth::user()->isATeamManager("2"))

to return false.

Hi illuminate3

I know i didn't realy finish the isATeamManager function, i created this one just for a test.

But if i finish this function like mentioned above the input field will be set to readonly and will still be editable by the (chrome F12) console. This will be a security risk.
