You can create a role or permission from a console with artisan commands.
```bash
php artisan permission:create-role writer
```
```bash
php artisan permission:create-permission "edit articles"
```
When creating permissions/roles for specific guards you can specify the guard names as a second argument:
```bash
php artisan permission:create-role writer web
```
```bash
php artisan permission:create-permission "edit articles" web
```
When creating roles you can also create and link permissions at the same time:
```bash
php artisan permission:create-role writer web "create articles|edit articles"
```
