Second-level tenancy for Filament panels. Adds a topnav dropdown that scopes every Eloquent query in the panel to a sub-tenant — service area, region, location, branch, department — without touching individual resources.
Filament's built-in tenancy gives you one tenant. This plugin adds another level on top: pick a sub-scope, and resources, widgets, navigation badges, and global search all auto-filter.
#Why
You already have multi-tenancy (e.g. Company). Inside each company you also need a soft filter — "show me only the North service area" — that:
- persists across navigation
- survives logout/login
- is shareable via URL
- applies to every model query without per-resource code
This plugin does that with one trait + one ->scopes([...]) array.
#Requirements
- PHP 8.2+
- Filament v4.x or v5.x
- Livewire v3 or v4
#Installation
composer require leek/filament-subtenant-scope
#Styles
Tell your panel theme to compile the plugin's blade utility classes by adding a @source directive to the panel theme configured with ->viteTheme(...):
@import '../../../../vendor/filament/filament/resources/css/theme.css';
@source '../../../../vendor/leek/filament-subtenant-scope/resources/views/**/*.blade.php';
Then rebuild your app assets:
npm run build
Without this, responsive utilities like hidden sm:inline used inside the dropdown won't be compiled into your panel CSS and the dropdown label may collapse on wide screens.
#Register the plugin
Register the plugin on your panel and define one or more scopes:
use Filament\Panel;
use Leek\FilamentSubtenantScope\SubtenantScope;
use Leek\FilamentSubtenantScope\SubtenantScopingPlugin;
use App\Models\ServiceArea;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
// ...
->plugin(
SubtenantScopingPlugin::make()
->scopes([
SubtenantScope::make('service_area', 'Service Area', ServiceArea::class, 'service_area_id')
->icon('heroicon-o-map-pin')
->labelAttribute('name')
->optionsQuery(fn ($user) => ServiceArea::query()
->where('company_id', $user->company_id)
->where('is_active', true)
->orderBy('name')),
]),
);
}
That's the whole topnav setup. The dropdown renders next to the global search.
#Opt resources into the scope
Add the HasSubtenantScopes trait and map each scope key to the FK column on the resource's model:
use Filament\Resources\Resource;
use Leek\FilamentSubtenantScope\Concerns\HasSubtenantScopes;
class AppointmentResource extends Resource
{
use HasSubtenantScopes;
/** @var array<string, string|null> */
protected static array $subTenantScopes = [
'service_area' => 'service_area_id',
];
}
The plugin walks every resource in the panel during boot() and registers an Eloquent global scope on the model. Once any resource opts in, all queries on that model auto-filter — list pages, relation managers, navigation badges, widgets, global search.
#Custom join logic
If the FK isn't on the model directly, pass null and define a static method named scopeSubTenant{Key}:
class ClientProfileResource extends Resource
{
use HasSubtenantScopes;
protected static array $subTenantScopes = ['service_area' => null];
public static function scopeSubTenantServiceArea(Builder $query, int $id): void
{
$query->where(function ($q) use ($id) {
$q->where('primary_service_area_id', $id)
->orWhereHas('serviceAreas', fn ($q) => $q->where('service_areas.id', $id));
});
}
}
#Behavior
- URL bookmarks: append
?scope_<key>=<id>to any panel URL — the value is read, persisted, then stripped from the URL on the next render so it's sticky. - Single option: when the user has access to exactly one option, the scope renders as a static label (no dropdown) and applies no filter — there's nothing to filter between.
- Multiple options: dropdown with "All …" plus each option.
- No options: nothing renders.
#Persistence
By default, selections persist for the session. To make them sticky across sessions/devices, register get/set callbacks. The classic pattern is a JSON column on users:
SubtenantScopingPlugin::make()
->scopes([/* ... */])
->persistUsing(
get: fn ($user, string $key) => $user->settings['sub_tenant_scopes'][$key] ?? null,
set: function ($user, string $key, ?int $id): void {
$settings = $user->settings ?? [];
$settings['sub_tenant_scopes'][$key] = $id;
$user->settings = $settings;
$user->saveQuietly();
},
);
Resolution order: URL param → session → user storage. First non-null wins.
#Customizing the dropdown
#Render hook
Override where the dropdown renders:
use Filament\View\PanelsRenderHook;
SubtenantScopingPlugin::make()
->scopes([/* ... */])
->renderHook(PanelsRenderHook::TOPBAR_END);
#Render the selector yourself
Disable the built-in render hook and embed the Livewire component anywhere:
SubtenantScopingPlugin::make()
->scopes([/* ... */])
->withoutDropdown();
@livewire(\Leek\FilamentSubtenantScope\Livewire\SubtenantScopeSelector::class)
#Override the view
Publish and edit the dropdown blade:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=filament-subtenant-scope-views
#Multiple scopes
Stack as many as you need. Each gets its own dropdown and storage key:
SubtenantScopingPlugin::make()
->scopes([
SubtenantScope::make('region', 'Region', Region::class, 'region_id'),
SubtenantScope::make('location', 'Location', Location::class, 'location_id'),
]);
Resources can opt into one or both:
protected static array $subTenantScopes = [
'region' => 'region_id',
'location' => 'location_id',
];
#Listening for changes
The Livewire component dispatches sub-scope-changed after every selection (it also triggers a full page reload to refresh server-rendered scoped data):
Livewire.on('sub-scope-changed', ({ scopeKey, value }) => {
// ...
});
#Testing
composer test
#How it works
- Plugin registers a render hook that pulls the dropdown into the topbar, scopes the manager request-singleton, and walks panel resources during
boot()to attach Eloquent global scopes. - Manager resolves the active selection per scope (URL → session → user storage), caches per request.
- Trait (
HasSubtenantScopes) adds a panel-aware Eloquent global scope to the model. The scope is no-op outside the panel the plugin is registered on. - Livewire selector renders one dropdown per registered scope, writes the selection through the manager, and reloads the page so server-rendered data picks up the new filter.
