• Fast method to retrieve user identifier for entities using HasUser trait.

// This entity uses the HasUser Trait
$entity = MyEntity::find(42);

if ($entity->hasUser() && User::active()->id() === $entity->userId())
{
    echo 'Active user is entity user!';
}

• Methods to add user to one or more user groups:

$user = User::find(42);

// Add user to one user group
$user->addToUserGroup(5);

// Add user to multiple user groups
$user->addToUserGroups([5, 7]);

• Methods to remove user from one/multiple/all user groups:

$user = User::find(42);

// Remove user from one user group
$user->removeFromUserGroup(5);

// Remove user from multiple user groups
$user->removeFromUserGroups([5, 7]);

// Remove user from all his/her user groups
$user->removeFromAllUserGroups();

• Method to easily retrieve authorId() on entities implementing HasAuthor trait:

$entity = Article::find(3);

if ($entity->hasAuthor() && User::active()->id() === $entity->authorId())
{
    echo 'You are the author of this article!';
}

• Method to easily retrieve editorId() on entities implementing HasEditor trait:
