I have a query regarding Confide with Entrust.

My user controller looks something like

use Zizaco\Confide\ConfideUser;

use Zizaco\Confide\ConfideUserInterface;

use Zizaco\Entrust\HasRole;

class User extends Eloquent implements ConfideUserInterface

{

use ConfideUser;

use HasRole;

}

But when I call Confide::user() it doesn't give me roles.

means when I try to call

Confide::user()->hasRole('Author') it is not working for me. Do you have any idea how can I use this?

I don't have an answer for this as I am looking for a guide to use entrust myself. But I think this is your model not the controller, right?

By the way, I am very new to laravel and not very sure what is an ideal way to create roles, assign them etc. I mean where should I create role. Should I just create it once, or what should be the workflow for that. If there is any guide to that, I would be happy to explore.
