Create a custom identity provider

Identity providers return the current identity. Most of the time, this means the logged in user. LmcRbacMvc comes with a default identity provider (Lmc\Rbac\Mvc\Identity\AuthenticationIdentityProvider) that uses the Laminas\Authentication\AuthenticationService service.

Create your own identity provider

If you want to implement your own identity provider, create a new class that implements Lmc\Rbac\Mvc\Identity\IdentityProviderInterface class. Then, change the identity_provider option in LmcRbacMvc config, as shown below:

return [
    'lmc_rbac' => [
        'identity_provider' => 'MyCustomIdentityProvider'
    ]
];

The identity provider is automatically pulled from the service manager.
