Plugins

The console automatically detects which better-auth plugins you have installed and adapts the UI accordingly.

Plugin Detection

When you configure a better-auth instance with plugins, the console reads the plugin configuration and enables relevant features:

import { organization, admin, apiKey } from "better-auth/plugins";

const auth = betterAuth({
  secret: "console-only",
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, { provider: "pg", schema }),
  plugins: [
    organization({ teams: { enabled: true } }),
    admin(),
    apiKey(),
  ],
});

Supported Plugins

When the organization plugin is detected:

• Organisations page appears in the sidebar
• Invitations page for managing pending invites

Multiple Instances

Each instance can have different plugins. The UI adapts per-instance:

export default [
  {
    id: "production",
    name: "Production",
    env: "production",
    auth: betterAuth({
      // All plugins
      plugins: [organization(), admin(), apiKey()],
    }),
  },
  {
    id: "development",
    name: "Development",
    env: "development",
    auth: betterAuth({
      // Only organization
      plugins: [organization()],
    }),
  },
];

When switching instances, the sidebar and available features update automatically.

• Dashboard
