If you want to create your own permissions there is a PermissionTableSeeder class on the database\seeds\ folder. Define a permission to upload a photo.

 Permission::create([
    'name' => 'upload_photo',
    'label' => 'Can upload photos'
  ]);

Extend your application and use the ACL.

On your controller you can do that:

public function store(UploadPhotoRequest $request)
{
  $this->authorize('upload_photo');
  (new UploadPhoto($request->file('photo')));
}

On the views you can use the blade directives

@can('upload_photo')
  <a href="/photos/create">Upload photo</a>
@endcan

Dashboard

Visit the route /admin and you will be redirected to the login to get access to the dashboard.
