User Permission After Registration in Laravel - php

Question

In my database i have this
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->string('username')->unique();
$table->string('admin')->nullable();
$table->string('usertype')->nullable();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
Which means in my form i have this
<select name="usertype">
<option>Select Usertype</option>
<option value="1">Landlord</option>
<option value="2">Agent</option>
<option value="3">Tenant</option>
</select>
Users can select the type of user they are.
I have this in my RegisterController
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'username' => $data['username'],
'usertype' => $data['usertype'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
]);
}
When a user which is landlord registers it takes them to http://127.0.0.1:8000/dashboard
How can i make the content different for each users i.e
1. I want landlord to be able to just add property
2. I want tenant to be able to edit profile, see properties they have bought.
3. I want agent to able to add property like landlord.
How can i achieve this ?

You can make use of Laravel Policies. Example if you have a PropertyController, you can have a PropertyPolicy with the method:
/**
* Determine whether the user can create models.
*
* #param \App\User $user
* #return mixed
*/
public function create(User $user)
{
return $user->usertype == 'Landlord';
}
And in the view, you can do something like:
#can('create', $property)
// link to create property
#endcan
