How to get organization plugin data into OIDC claims

I successfully set up the organization plugin, good stuff. However, I'm unsure how to access this data and set it as user claims for OIDC ID tokens. OIDC plugin getAdditionalUserInfoClaim's first parameter is the user object, but the user's org info isn't listed on this object. Missing something?

Organization role customization

Goal: Have only custom roles and access control for organizations Observed Behavior: Things still being created as "owner", I think "admin", "owner" and other roles still exist. I only want my custom roles, and I want the creating user to get the custom role as well ("parent" in this case). Background: I'm building a family management app, using an organization as the "family", and I want to have custom roles for parents and children, etc. I have followed the custom roles/authorization docs for the organization to customize things. Here is what that looks like so far:...

Anonymous/API Keys + OIDC

This is just a curiosity/architecture question, not running into a bug or anything! My setup: BA as IDP/OIDC OP, downstream apps as OIDC RPs. My use case: API protected by authentication against BA OIDC OP (all requests throw an error unless valid bearer/access token is present from authenticated user). Web app currently locked down to authenticated users, but want to open up some routes so users can fetch data only from the web app (i.e. not from cURL, postman, insomnia)...

Getting session from external server on a different server

Basically I have two backends here: one for TanStack Start's SSR, and one for Better Auth and the site's API (using Hono). Before this change, I got the user's session on the Start backend like so: ```ts import { createServerFn } from "@tanstack/react-start";...

Solution:

//middleware to get the user and session and add them to the context app.use("*", async (c, next) => { const session = await auth.api.getSession({ headers: c.req.raw.headers }); if (!session) {...

better-auth/client internal fetch logic gets overridden or ignored

Hey team 👋 — I'm using better-auth/vue in my Nuxt 3 app to call my custom backend API. When I pass a baseURL to createAuthClient, it seems like all the internal fetch logic (like headers, payload serialization, etc.) gets overridden or ignored. Here's my usage:...

Using secure cookies on local dev server (running https) not working

I am need to test my application locally using https for a third party integration (unrelated to this), but I am running into an issue where my sessions are not being found after sign-in when using a local https server, using secure tokens. I tried to set the advanced useSecureCookies config to true, but that did not work. The secure cookies are being set in my browser, the sessions exist in the database, and the tokens that I am logging on the console are all lining up, however when I use the getSession hook, its returning null. Debuggin items I have checked: - BETTER_AUTH_URL is being set to https://localhost:3000...

legal-consent plugin not extending authClient.signUp.email

Hi all! Just getting to know the plugin ecosystem of better-auth and I must say I am very happy with better-auth so far! When using the legal-consent plugin I have hit a snag, it doesn't seem like it's extending the auth client properly and thus won't pass the tosAccepted and privacyPolicyAccepted fields through to the database resulting in DB errors due to a missing field....

How do I validate sessions / access in my backend

Am I correct to assume that I need to query the db based off the access token provided to verify if the request is legit, or is there an api that I can use to do this built-in to better-auth? My backend api is made in C# using ASP.NET core, so I need to protect certain routes which is why im asking....
