You could just bin this too and use https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-permission/v5/introduction

This is all done for you. Create a permission or role give the user the role and all is done for you. Just use the associations set up in the package. Way more powerful than creating from scratch. All the heavy lifting is done and much more powerful for your application.
