In the procedures folder we add
a new file, adjustRole.php.
0:00
And we'll start by adding
our bootstrap file.
0:10
Now we can call our changeRole function.
0:26
$user = changeRole,
0:30
and we'll pass request,
0:35
get userId, and
0:40
the request, get roleID.
0:43
If the user, Role_Id now,
0:52
= 1, they're in administrator.
0:59
So we'll set session, GetFlashBag, Add,
1:04
success, $user['username,
1:13
Promoted to admin.
1:27
Let's make sure we have a space.
1:34
We'll duplicate this line,
and we'll add an else.
1:37
If they're not an admin,
we're going to say,
1:45
demoted to restricted user.
1:52
We'll close our conditional, and
1:59
redirect to admin.php.
2:04
Everything's set up to go, so
let's visit the admin page and
2:07
promote ourselves to an administrator.
2:11
We're logged in, and we go to admin.php.
2:17
And we choose to Promote to Admin.
2:21
Admin was promoted to admin.
2:25
We can promote and demote our users.
2:29
And we have an administrator set.
2:33
So we're ready to lockdown our
files with admin privileges.
