Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Create a backend (I'm using Elysia with Bun)
  2. Configure a microsoft social provider
  3. Create a front-end (I'm using Next.js with pnpm)
  4. Add a before hook to access user e-mail on sign-in

I’m trying to implement a before hook in Better Auth to restrict which users are allowed to sign in, following the example in the documentation:
https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/hooks#example-enforce-email-domain-restriction

However, I noticed that this approach only works when signing in with email/password. When using a social provider (in my case, Microsoft), the email field is never present in the ctx.body object as shown in the docs.

Because of that, the before hook can’t access the user’s email, making it impossible to validate whether the sign-in should be allowed.

Is there a different or recommended way to access the user’s email when the sign-in is happening through a social provider inside the createAuthMiddleware before hook?

Current vs. Expected behavior

ctx.body.email should contain the user’s email, just like in the email/password example in the documentation.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.4.5

Originally created by @david-sfernandes on GitHub (Dec 4, 2025). Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/6527 ### Is this suited for github? - [ ] Yes, this is suited for github ### To Reproduce 1. Create a backend (I'm using Elysia with Bun) 2. Configure a microsoft social provider 3. Create a front-end (I'm using Next.js with pnpm) 4. Add a before hook to access user e-mail on sign-in I’m trying to implement a before hook in Better Auth to restrict which users are allowed to sign in, following the example in the documentation: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/hooks#example-enforce-email-domain-restriction However, I noticed that this approach only works when signing in with email/password. When using a social provider (in my case, Microsoft), the email field is never present in the ctx.body object as shown in the docs. Because of that, the before hook can’t access the user’s email, making it impossible to validate whether the sign-in should be allowed. Is there a different or recommended way to access the user’s email when the sign-in is happening through a social provider inside the createAuthMiddleware before hook? ### Current vs. Expected behavior `ctx.body.email` should contain the user’s email, just like in the email/password example in the documentation. ### What version of Better Auth are you using? 1.4.5 ### System info ```bash front-end: { "system": { "platform": "win32", "arch": "x64", "version": "Windows 11 Pro", "release": "10.0.26200", "cpuCount": 6, "cpuModel": "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz", "totalMemory": "23.82 GB", "freeMemory": "6.74 GB" }, "node": { "version": "v24.10.0", "env": "development" }, "packageManager": { "name": "pnpm", "version": "10.19.0" }, "frameworks": [ { "name": "next", "version": "16.0.3" }, { "name": "react", "version": "19.2.0" } ], "databases": null, "betterAuth": { "version": "^1.4.5", "config": null } } back-end: { "system": { "platform": "win32", "arch": "x64", "version": "Windows 11 Pro", "release": "10.0.26200", "cpuCount": 6, "cpuModel": "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz", "totalMemory": "23.82 GB", "freeMemory": "6.74 GB" }, "node": { "version": "v24.10.0", "env": "development" }, "packageManager": { "name": "bun", "version": "1.3.0" }, "frameworks": null, "databases": [ { "name": "@prisma/client", "version": "^6.17.1" } ], "betterAuth": { "version": "^1.4.5", "config": { "emailAndPassword": { "enabled": true }, "trustedOrigins": [ "http://localhost:3010" ], "socialProviders": { "microsoft": { "clientId": "[REDACTED]", "clientSecret": "[REDACTED]" } }, "hooks": {}, "plugins": [ { "name": "admin", "config": { "id": "admin", "hooks": { "after": [ {} ] }, "endpoints": {}, "$ERROR_CODES": { "FAILED_TO_CREATE_USER": "Failed to create user", "USER_ALREADY_EXISTS": "User already exists.", "USER_ALREADY_EXISTS_USE_ANOTHER_EMAIL": "User already exists.

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

This is a known limitation in Better Auth: during social provider sign-in (like Microsoft), the user's email is not available in the before hook because the OAuth flow only retrieves the user's email after the provider completes authentication and returns user info. The before hook only sees the initial request payload, which doesn't include provider-derived data like the user's email. In contrast, email/password sign-in includes the email in the initial payload, so it's available in the before hook see code reference.

The recommended way to enforce email-based restrictions for social providers is to use an after hook, where the user session and user data (including email) are available. For example, you can check ctx.context.newSession.user.email in an after hook and throw an error or clear the session if the email is not allowed example.

If you need to restrict sign-up or sign-in at the database level, you can also use a "before create user" database hook to abort user creation if the email is not allowed see discussion.

If you want to map additional fields from the provider (like custom claims), use the mapProfileToUser option in your provider config. This makes those fields available on the user object in hooks and middleware see discussion.

There is no workaround to access the user's email in the before hook for social sign-in due to the OAuth flow design and when user info becomes available. All email-based restrictions for social providers should be enforced in after hooks or user provisioning/database hooks.

I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the better-auth team. <!-- Answer --> This is a known limitation in Better Auth: during social provider sign-in (like Microsoft), the user's email is not available in the `before` hook because the OAuth flow only retrieves the user's email after the provider completes authentication and returns user info. The `before` hook only sees the initial request payload, which doesn't include provider-derived data like the user's email. In contrast, email/password sign-in includes the email in the initial payload, so it's available in the `before` hook [see code reference](https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/blob/85409f80848f1f96b9634c320a5014b334601d88/packages/better-auth/src/api/routes/sign-in.ts#L231-L557). The recommended way to enforce email-based restrictions for social providers is to use an `after` hook, where the user session and user data (including email) are available. For example, you can check `ctx.context.newSession.user.email` in an `after` hook and throw an error or clear the session if the email is not allowed [example](https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/4972). If you need to restrict sign-up or sign-in at the database level, you can also use a "before create user" database hook to abort user creation if the email is not allowed [see discussion](https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/5724). If you want to map additional fields from the provider (like custom claims), use the `mapProfileToUser` option in your provider config. This makes those fields available on the user object in hooks and middleware [see discussion](https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/discussions/5677). There is no workaround to access the user's email in the `before` hook for social sign-in due to the OAuth flow design and when user info becomes available. All email-based restrictions for social providers should be enforced in `after` hooks or user provisioning/database hooks. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?

@david-sfernandes commented on GitHub (Dec 4, 2025):

I tested the suggestion of using the after hook, but I still couldn’t access the user’s email there — at least not during the sign-in route. I noticed that there is a callback route where the email becomes available, but I wasn’t able to properly enforce access restrictions at that stage.

Right now I’m experimenting with the databaseHook during user creation. It works, but when an error occurs the flow redirects the user to an internal error page from the auth server itself. So I’ll need to figure out how to customize or handle that page so it fits better with my application.

One additional comment: I believe the documentation for the hooks (specifically the one I referenced earlier) could be updated to avoid this kind of confusion, since the current example suggests that email filtering works the same for both email/password and social provider flows, which isn’t the case.

The flow of oauth looks roughly like this:
/sign-in/social -> redirected to oauth provider login page -> /callback/<provider_id>

You're using a before hook looking at the /sign-in/social stage which does not have any context of the user's email, only after the user has reached the callback endpoint which we would then know the email.

In your case, specifically for social logins, I recommend using a database hook to check if the user's email is allowed before creating a user.

Try something like this to redirect to a custom error page:

const headers = new Headers();
headers.set(
	"location",
	"http://my-domain.com/my-error-page?error=invalid_email_origin"
);
throw new APIError("FOUND", undefined, headers);
