Install: claude install-skill arthjean/skills
## Setup
1. Add `organization()` plugin to server config
2. Add `organizationClient()` plugin to client config
3. Run `npx @better-auth/cli@latest migrate` (built-in adapter) or generate + push for Drizzle/Prisma
4. Verify: check that organization, member, invitation tables exist in your database
```ts
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { organization } from "better-auth/plugins";
export const auth = betterAuth({
plugins: [
organization({
allowUserToCreateOrganization: true,
organizationLimit: 5, // Max orgs per user
membershipLimit: 100, // Max members per org
}),
],
});
```
### Client-Side Setup
```ts
import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/client";
import { organizationClient } from "better-auth/client/plugins";
export const authClient = createAuthClient({
plugins: [organizationClient()],
});
```
## Creating Organizations
The creator is automatically assigned the `owner` role.
```ts
const createOrg = async () => {
const { data, error } = await authClient.organization.create({
name: "My Company",
slug: "my-company",
logo: "https://example.com/logo.png",
metadata: { plan: "pro" },
});
};
```
### Controlling Organization Creation
Restrict who can create organizations based on user attributes:
```ts
organization({
allowUserToCreateOrganization: async (user) => {
return user.emailVerified === true;
},
organizationLimit: async (user) => {
// Premium users get more organizations
