How is set different roles and add new role - php

Question

Im using system where it is using $user->is_admin and $user->is_employee and $user->is_customer there is no column is_admin or is_employee or is_customer in database. I know that it takes it from user model. but is_admin or is_employee is not defined anywhere. and dumping gives me true or false.
I want add new checking like is_manager. but cant find where I can add this..
Debugbar isnt showing any query for is_admin column..
Where it can be located?
example I have observer:
use App\Helper\SearchLog;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
class UserObserver
{
public function roleAttached(User $user, $role, $team)
{
if (!$user->is_admin) {
$type = 'Employee';
$route = 'admin.employee.edit';
if ($user->is_customer) {
$type = 'Customer';
$route = 'admin.customers.show';
}
SearchLog::createSearchEntry($user->id, $type, $user->name, $route);
SearchLog::createSearchEntry($user->id, $type, $user->email, $route);
}
}
I dont understand how it knows is_admin if it is not in database column?
My user model:
namespace App;
use App\Observers\UserObserver;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Laratrust\Traits\LaratrustUserTrait;
class User extends Authenticatable
{

protected $fillable = [

LoginController looks like this where is authenticated class:
protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
if ($user->is_admin || $user->is_employee) {
return redirect()->route('admin.dashboard');
}
if(!$user->is_admin && !$user->is_employee && Cookie::get('bookingDetails')!==null && Cookie::get('products')!==null && $this->checkUserBooking($user->id)>$this->settings->booking_per_day){
return redirect(route('front.index'))->withCookie(Cookie::forget('bookingDetails'))->withCookie(Cookie::forget('products'))->withCookie(Cookie::forget('couponData'));
}
return redirect(session()->get('url.encoded'));
}

You can make another accessor that will check if role is associated with current user entity.
public function getIsManagerAttribute() {
return $this->hasRole('manager');// presuming you have created manager role
}
Then you can check easily with
// $user = User::find(1);
// $user->is_manager;// true || false
