Originally created by @bnssoftware on GitHub (Jul 24, 2025).

Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Create a new member with the better auth api /organization/create endpoint and a new Team is also created by the same name as the organization.

Current vs. Expected behavior

I can't see the benefit of a team being created by the same name as the organization. This is either a bug or a feature. If a feature, I would like to have the option of enabling this or not when calling the /organization/create endpoint.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.3

Provide environment information

Windows 11

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

Backend

Auth config (if applicable)

No response


### Additional context

_No response_

Hi @bnssoftware! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

This is an intentional feature introduced in a recent update—when you create an organization, a team with the same name is automatically created as well. Currently, there’s no configuration option or flag to disable this behavior; it always happens when using the /organization/create endpoint. The relevant logic is in the handler and adapter code, and making this optional would require a code change to accept and respect a new parameter or config flag. The codebase is modular, so adding such an option is feasible, but it’s not available out of the box right now. You can see the implementation details and recent changes in the team support for organization pull request.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

A team name of Company Name, makes no sense.

You can disable the feature by setting teams.defaultTeam.enabled to false. You can also pass a custom function to create custom default team by passing a callback for customCreateDefaultTeam. Sorry for the bot response and this wasn’t introduced in 1.3, it’s been available for a while.

@Bekacru This might need to be in the documentation https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/organization#teams
