However, when checking the initialization of the default capabilities,

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

You're correct—there's a mismatch between the documentation and the actual code. The docs say the member role can "Invite Users", but in the code, the memberAc role is initialized with no permissions for invitations (or any other resource), so it does not have the create capability for invitations by default (source). Recent updates and merged PRs do not change this behavior, and there’s no indication this is intentional or documented elsewhere.

This looks like either the documentation needs to be updated to match the code, or the code should be updated to grant the expected permissions to the member role. If you need members to invite users, you can override the default role statements in your config as a workaround.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
