Gate filter on user id

[fridzema]

I think it is more convenient to check on user id in in the viewTelescope Gate.

Reasons: User email can easily be changed and breaks access to telescope. Performance.

You can easily change the function yourself:

protected function gate()
    {
        Gate::define('viewTelescope', function ($user) {
            return in_array($user->id, [1,2]);
        });
    }

@backstageel thanks, i have already done this for myself but i think this way is better as default.

Laravel Spark use Email aswell

Depending on the email is much safer. What if you're testing a feature that lets you delete your user so you can re-register it.. you might do this on your own user in a production environment, then you'd have to change the hardcoded gate

No plans to support this at the moment.
