I am working on a REST API using Yii3 and trying to understand the correct way to implement authentication and authorization.
Scenario:
I have a basic Yii3 REST API setup and now I need to secure it properly for production use.
What I want to achieve:
Implement authentication
Protect API routes using middleware
Implement role-based authorization (admin/user level access)
Understand how Yii3 handles security compared to Yii2
Questions:
Does Yii3 provide any built-in out-of-the-box solution for REST API authentication?
What is the recommended approach for JWT or token-based authentication in Yii3?
How should authorization (RBAC or role checks) be implemented in a Yii3 REST API?
Are there any recommended packages or best practices for structuring this?
Any guidance, examples, or documentation links would be really helpful.
