This plugin provides a structured and practical administrative interface for Laravel Passport within Filament v4.

Laravel Passport is a widely used OAuth2 server implementation, but it intentionally leaves administrative concerns
(client management, scope visibility, token inspection) to the application. In real-world projects, this often results
in ad-hoc tooling, CLI-only workflows, or missing visibility into OAuth configuration.

Filament Passport UI addresses this gap by offering a first-class, Filament-native admin layer for Passport, without
modifying Passport internals or redefining OAuth behavior.


Key reasons for inclusion

  • Solves a real, recurring problem
    Many Filament-based applications rely on Passport but lack a maintainable way to manage OAuth clients, tokens, and
    scopes through the admin UI.

  • Native Filament integration
    Built entirely using Filament v4 resources, pages, tables, and actions.
    No custom panels, hacks, or deviations from Filament conventions.

  • Opinionated but non-invasive
    Passport remains the underlying OAuth engine.
    This plugin adds visibility and structure on top, without changing authentication flows or protocol semantics.

  • Clear domain modeling
    OAuth concepts such as clients, grant types, scopes, and tokens are presented in a way that is understandable,
    reviewable, and auditable.

  • Context-aware scope management
    Scopes are modeled as resource + action identifiers, aligning naturally with Filament’s own resource/action
    authorization model and with how real-world APIs typically use OAuth scopes.

  • Designed for real applications
    Especially useful for B2B APIs, internal platforms, multi-service systems, and teams where OAuth configuration must
    remain transparent and maintainable over time.

  • Auditability & Compliance
    Administrative actions (e.g. creating, updating, revoking clients or tokens) are fully auditable, enabling traceability of security-relevant actions for compliance requirements (e.g. ISO/IEC 27001). Audit logs remain application-owned and can be integrated into existing ISMS processes.

Note: ISO/IEC 27001 certification applies to organizations and processes.
This package supports auditability requirements but does not constitute certification or compliance by itself.


Fit with the Filament ecosystem

Filament Passport UI follows Filament’s core philosophy:

  • explicit configuration over implicit magic
  • clear separation between UI and business logic
  • extensibility without framework coupling

It complements Filament rather than competing with existing authorization features.


In short:
This plugin brings a commonly needed but often reimplemented capability into the Filament ecosystem in a clean,
consistent, and maintainable way.

I believe it would be a valuable addition to the Filament Plugin Hub for teams using Laravel Passport in production
environments.
