Bug: Dynamic Access Control endpoints not available when teams are enabled

Describe the problem

When configuring the organization plugin in Better Auth as follows:

organization({
  ac,
  dynamicAccessControl:  {
    enabled: true,
  },
  teams: {
    enabled: true,
  },
})

The createOrgRole endpoint (for dynamic access control) is not available in the API. However, if teams: { enabled: false } is set, the createOrgRole endpoint is available.

Expected behavior

  • The endpoints from DynamicAccessControlEndpoints (like createOrgRole) should be present regardless of whether teams are enabled, as long as dynamic access control is enabled.
  • Both teams and dynamic access control should work together as per runtime logic.

Actual behavior

  • When both teams.enabled and dynamicAccessControl.enabled are true, dynamic access control endpoints are missing from the API.

Possible cause

  • TypeScript function overload or type inference in the plugin codebase may be shadowing endpoints or narrowing typings, leading to only team endpoints or incorrect endpoint composition.
  • Runtime logic suggests both endpoints should be combined unless overwritten by type definitions.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Configure Better Auth with both features enabled as shown above.
  2. Attempt to use API endpoint createOrgRole.
  3. Endpoint is undefined/missing in the exported API.
  4. Switch teams to enabled: false, and observe the endpoint appears.

Environment

  • better-auth version: 1.4.12
  • TypeScript version: 5.9.3

It looks like you've encountered an issue where the createOrgRole endpoint from dynamic access control is missing when both teams and dynamic access control are enabled in Better Auth. This is likely due to a conflict or limitations in the type definitions or endpoint composition logic when both features are active.

Here are the next steps you can take:

  1. Check the Plugin Configuration: Ensure that the plugin configuration is correct and matches the expected setup as per the documentation.

  2. Review the API Response: Double-check the API documentation or logs to confirm if the endpoint is indeed missing when both configurations are enabled.

  3. Look for Related Issues: There are known issues concerning conflicts when enabling both features [1]. You may want to review those or even add to them if your case hasn't been documented.

  4. Reach Out to the Team: If the problem persists, it might be best to tag members of the Better Auth team—Beka (@bekacru) or Max (@ping__)—who can provide further assistance.

Do you need help with anything else regarding Better Auth, or is there something specific you'd like to dive deeper into?

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

This is a known issue in Better Auth 1.4.12: when both teams and dynamicAccessControl are enabled in the organization plugin, endpoints like createOrgRole are missing due to TypeScript type inference and endpoint composition conflicts. The runtime logic does merge all endpoints, but the final exposed type narrows the API, causing TypeScript to drop dynamic access control routes when teams are enabled—even though the runtime object actually includes them. This mismatch is caused by how overloads and endpoint aggregation are implemented in the plugin code (see code).

Workarounds for 1.4.12 include relaxing strict TypeScript options (especially setting "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": false in your tsconfig.json) or using type assertions (e.g., as any) for affected API calls. These unblock development but reduce type safety and are not ideal for production (see related issue).

A robust fix was merged after 1.4.12 in PR #5334 (2025-10-15), which refactored endpoint type composition to safely combine dynamic access control and teams endpoints. Upgrading to a version that includes this PR will resolve the bug and restore all expected endpoints when both features are enabled.

If you need to keep using 1.4.12, use the workarounds above. For a long-term solution, upgrade to the latest version after PR #5334.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
