Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the admin plugin enforces its built-in RBAC-like access control model. In our project, it's not enough - we are using Casbin. It would be nice if we could integrate Casbin with the admin plugin.

Describe the solution you'd like

Custom hasPermission isAdmin implementation.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Seperated REST API works

Additional context

No response

Hi, @typed-sigterm. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the better-auth team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

  • You requested support for custom RBAC implementations in the admin plugin by allowing overrides for hasPermission and isAdmin methods.
  • This feature would enable integration with systems like Casbin.
  • Currently, you use a separate REST API as a workaround.
  • Other users have shown interest and asked for updates.
  • No official response or progress has been made on this feature yet.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of better-auth by commenting here.
  • If I don’t hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
