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.

#Manage link

Add a link at the bottom of the dropdown pointing to wherever the options are managed. The closure receives the authenticated user; return null to hide the link (e.g. when the user lacks permission). The label defaults to "Manage {plural label}".

SubtenantScope::make('service_area', 'Service Area', ServiceArea::class, 'service_area_id')
    ->manageUrl(fn ($user) => $user?->can('viewAny', ServiceArea::class)
        ? ServiceAreaResource::getUrl('index')
        : null),

#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',
];

#Nested scopes

When one scope lives inside another (locations inside a region), declare the parent with dependsOn(), naming the parent scope's key and the child model's column that points at it:

SubtenantScope::make('location', 'Location', Location::class, 'location_id')
    ->dependsOn('region', 'region_id'),

• While a region is selected, the location dropdown offers only that region's locations, and its "All" option reads "All Locations in North".
• Picking a different region keeps the selected location only if it is inside the new region; going back to "All Regions" clears it.
• A stored location that falls outside the selected region (stale session, URL or user setting) is ignored, so a mismatched pair can never filter to nothing.
• A nested scope keeps its dropdown even with a single option, since picking the region's only location is still narrower than the region alone.

#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

1. 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.
2. Manager resolves the active selection per scope (URL → session → user storage), caches per request.
3. 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.
4. 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.
