To create dynamic roles in Symfony, you can follow these steps:
- Create a Role entity: First, create a Role entity with properties like name and description. This entity will store the different roles in your application.

// src/Entity/Role.php
namespace AppEntity;
use DoctrineORMMapping as ORM;
/**
* @ORMEntity()
* @ORMTable(name="roles")
*/
class Role
{
/**
* @ORMId()
* @ORMGeneratedValue()
* @ORMColumn(type="integer")
*/
private $id;
/**
* @ORMColumn(type="string", length=255, unique=true)
*/
private $name;
/**
* @ORMColumn(type="string", length=255)
*/
private $description;
// getter and setter methods
}
|
- Create a Role form: Next, create a RoleFormType to handle the form for creating and editing roles. Include the required fields like name and description in this form.

// src/Form/RoleFormType.php
namespace AppForm;
use AppEntityRole;
use SymfonyComponentFormAbstractType;
use SymfonyComponentFormFormBuilderInterface;
use SymfonyComponentOptionsResolverOptionsResolver;
class RoleFormType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('name')
->add('description');
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults([
'data_class' => Role::class,
]);
}
}

- Create the CRUD operations: Now, set up the necessary routes, controllers, and templates for CRUD operations on roles. This will involve creating methods to handle listing, creating, editing, and deleting roles.
- Assign roles to users: In your User entity, include a ManyToMany relationship with roles. This will allow you to assign multiple roles to users dynamically.

// src/Entity/User.php
// ...
use SymfonyBridgeDoctrineValidatorConstraintsUniqueEntity;
use DoctrineCommonCollectionsArrayCollection;
use DoctrineCommonCollectionsCollection;
use SymfonyComponentSecurityCoreUserUserInterface;
/**
* @ORMEntity(repositoryClass=UserRepository::class)
* @UniqueEntity(fields={"email"}, message="There is already an account with this email")
*/
class User implements UserInterface
{
// ...
/**
* @ORMManyToMany(targetEntity=Role::class, inversedBy="users")
* @ORMJoinTable(name="user_roles")
*/
private $roles;
public function __construct()
{
$this->roles = new ArrayCollection();
}
// ...
public function getRoles(): array
{
$roles = $this->roles->map(function (Role $role) {
return $role->getName();
})->toArray();
// guarantee every user at least has ROLE_USER
$roles[] = 'ROLE_USER';
return array_unique($roles);
}
// ...
}

- Use roles in security configuration: Finally, configure your security.yaml file to use these dynamic roles for access control in your application.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
# config/packages/security.yaml
security:
# ...
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_ADMIN: ROLE_USER
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: ROLE_ADMIN
access_control:
- { path: '^/admin', roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
- { path: '^/super-admin', roles: ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN }
- { path: '^/user', roles: ROLE_USER }
# ...

These steps will allow you to create, edit, and assign roles to users dynamically in your Symfony application.
