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

You're correct—autoCreateOrganizationOnSignUp is only present in the type definitions and is not implemented in the organization plugin or user creation logic, so enabling it has no effect in Better Auth v1.3.7 or the latest codebase [source].

Recent updates added organization lifecycle hooks (like beforeCreateOrganization and afterCreateOrganization), which you can use to run custom logic when organizations are created [source]. However, there is no built-in way to automatically create an organization when a user signs up.

If you want to auto-create an organization on sign-up, you'll need to implement this manually—typically by hooking into your user creation flow and calling client.organization.create after a new user is registered. You can also use the new organization hooks to customize organization creation, but triggering it automatically on sign-up will require custom code.

Let me know if you want a sample implementation or guidance on how to wire this up!

To reply, just mention @dosu.
