Organization access control

Hello! In my app there are different articles which can have different languages, countries and cities. Only users with the correct list of permissions should be able to edit a post. Would every country-city-language pair have to be its own organization? Or is there a better way to do this? What about sharing editing access with another user? Would there have to be a new organization for each post? https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/organization#list-users-organizations

I think you might find your answer in the Access Control part of the plugin https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/organization#access-control

Hi! Thank you for the hint! I guess I will map it so that each post will have its own organization behind the scenes Do you know whether the "project" key can be arbitrary?

I haven't used the Access Control feature yet, but I suppose you can go with any key you want as long as its consistent (Could be wrong so dont take my word for it) 
import { createAccessControl, defaultStatements} from 'better-auth/plugins/access'

const Posts = {
    ...defaultStatements,
    anything: ['create', 'share', 'update', 'delete'],
} as const

const ac = createAccessControl(Posts)

const member = ac.newRole({
    anything: ['create'],
})
import { createAccessControl, defaultStatements} from 'better-auth/plugins/access'

const Posts = {
    ...defaultStatements,
    anything: ['create', 'share', 'update', 'delete'],
} as const

const ac = createAccessControl(Posts)

const member = ac.newRole({
    anything: ['create'],
})
