Members and invitations

How users join a workspace and what happens at each step.

A Member belongs to a workspace with a Workspace Role. An Invitation grants membership to one email address with a specified role.

Invite and accept

  1. On the members page, an owner or admin enters an email and role. Sending requires invitation:create.
  2. Better Auth persists the invitation and sends a WorkspaceInvitationEmail through the email dispatcher. The link points to /invitations/accept?invitation=<id>.
  3. The recipient signs in and accepts. The invitation must belong to their email address.
  4. Acceptance creates the membership and marks the invitation accepted.

Invitations require browser sessions and run through Better Auth's organization plugin in the web Worker. The public API does not expose invitation mutations. The invitation authorizes acceptance before the recipient has a workspace role.

Pending invitations

The members page lists pending invitations for users permitted to manage them. Owners and admins can cancel an invitation; cancellation records workspace_invitation.canceled. To resend, cancel and send again.

Expired, cancelled, accepted, and wrongly addressed invitations all show the same "cannot be used" message to avoid disclosing invitation state.

A user can belong to several workspaces. Switching changes the workspace slug in the URL and does not require another sign-in.
