Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Set up Better Auth on the backend
  2. Try calling organization.getActiveMember() on the client with a query parameter:
organization.getActiveMember({
  query: {
    organizationId: workspaceId,
  },
})
  1. The organizationId is ignored or has no effect

Current vs. Expected behavior

Expected:

Passing the organizationId in the query object should return the active member for that specific organization.

Current:

The result either ignores the organizationId or does not reflect the intended context. I suspect the organization context is expected to come from a cookie or session, but this is unclear in the docs.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.12

Provide environment information

- OS: macOS 14.5

                ...user,
                role: 'admin',

            },
          }
        },
      },
    },
  },
} satisfies BetterAuthOptions

const auth = betterAuth(config)

const getCurrentSession = cache(
  async () => await auth.api.getSession({ headers: await headers() }),
)

export { auth as default, getCurrentSession }

Additional context

• I’m using React Query on the client to fetch the member data.
• The call works, but always returns the member for the session’s organization, ignoring the one I pass via query.
• This behavior is unclear in the documentation — is it expected that getActiveMember() always uses the current session context?
• If organizationId should not be passed manually, is there an alternative method to get the member of a specific organization from the client?

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

You're correct—passing organizationId in the query to organization.getActiveMember() is ignored. The organization context for getActiveMember() is determined by the current session or cookies, not by a manually-passed organizationId. This isn't clearly documented, but it's the intended behavior in v1.2.12. If you need to fetch the member for a specific organization, you'll need to use a different method or adjust your approach, as getActiveMember() is designed to always use the session's organization context and does not support overriding it via query parameter. More details on session and organization context can be found in related discussions about plugin order and session management [source].

you can use getFullOrganization() by passing org slug or org id as query params to get the details about the org including the member , invitation and teams if enabled
