That sounds awesome! I'd really like to see organizational management, i.e., users in orgs. It is something most B2B SaaS apps have to do, and they tend to do it differently and often very poorly. Maybe it is out of the scope of ORY Hive, but I think it would be really useful. I'm thinking it would tie into an RBAC system to give users different permissions within orgs (member, admin, owner, etc.).
There are two main patterns for B2B apps:
- One org per user, like G Suite. A user is a member of a single org, to be a member of another org requires another user account. This creates a challenge when it is a system where someone might be a member of multiple orgs, because it requires logging in as multiple users and having cookies that can handle that.
- One user in many orgs, like GitHub. A users "owns" their user account, and is invited to one or more orgs. This makes working in multiple orgs easier, but can create challenges for companies that want to enforce things within their org, like SSO or 2FA. It also creates issues with routing of notifications (you want work notifications going to work email), and identity of users within a company (an org admin may have trouble identifying users if they aren't tied to company emails).
An ecosystem like ORY obviously can't alleviate all the issues, but maybe it can help with some of them, like org membership and org friendly cookies.
