Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Follow steps from the docs to be able to create organization and send an invite link to an email.
  2. Click the link sent to the mail and trigger the acceptInvitation either front-end or back-end

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current

When using authClient, you'll get a response with
{ data: null, error: { status: 0, statusText: '' } }

When using auth

 ⨯ [Error [APIError]: ] {
  status: 'UNAUTHORIZED',
  body: undefined,
  headers: {},
  statusCode: 401,
  digest: '5381'
}

Expected

Able to accept user successfully and change invitation status from pending to the default accepted status (I currently don't know what it is)

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.7

Provide environment information

- Windows 11
- Firefox (Zen browser)

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Backend, Client

Auth config (if applicable)

export const auth = betterAuth({
  plugins: [
    organization({
      ac,
      roles,
      cancelPendingInvitationsOnReInvite: true,
      creatorRole: 'admin',
      sendInvitationEmail: async (data) => {
        const res = await sendReactEmail({
          receivers: [{ email: data.email }],
          subject: `Invited by ${data.inviter.user.name}`,
          content: (
            <InviteLinkEmailTemplate
              expiration={data.invitation.expiresAt}
              inviteId={data.id}
              inviter={data.inviter.user.name}
              spaceName={data.organization.name}
            />
          ),
        });

        console.log('RESPONSE', res);
      },
    }),
  ],
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: 'pg',
  }),
  baseURL: BASE_URL,
  socialProviders: {
    google: {
      clientId: env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
      clientSecret: env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    },
  },
});

Additional context

I followed the docs with some changes. Since the error is UNAUTHORIZED, the cause might be my custom roles.
This is my permissions.ts

import { createAccessControl } from 'better-auth/plugins/access';
import {
  defaultStatements,
  adminAc,
  memberAc
} from 'better-auth/plugins/organization/access';

export const ac = createAccessControl(defaultStatements);

export const admin = ac.newRole(adminAc.statements);
export const operator = ac.newRole(memberAc.statements);
export const participant = ac.newRole(memberAc.statements);

export const roles = { admin, operator, participant };

export type Role = keyof typeof roles;

Can you show me your code which is calling the acceptInvitation function?

for auth.api make sure to provide headers and the client error is telling, you haven't configured your baseURL properly

headers is exactly what I'm missing thank you.
Apologies for the delayed response. I was in a business trip.

Hey! Same issue here. what headers should i have to provide if I'm using better-auth from react vite? I want to do

authClient.organization.getInvitation(
      {
        query: { id: token },
      })

But I get 401 as user is not authenticated

Getting same error,
even passing headers shows unauthenticated..
Is there anyway for users to accept request without being signing in ?

Error processing invitation: [Error [APIError]: Not authenticated] {
  status: 'UNAUTHORIZED',
  body: [Object],
  headers: {},
  statusCode: 401
}
