How to set up multi-tenant auth with Clerk
Follow these steps in Evonx to implement organization-based multi-tenant auth with Clerk. Use this when B2B SaaS customers need isolated members, roles, and invites.
Step-by-step
Enable Clerk organizations
Turn on Organizations in Clerk and define roles that match your product permissions.
Wire Clerk into the app
Add Clerk providers and middleware so every request carries user and active organization context.
Mirror orgs in your database
Store organization IDs on domain tables and never trust client-supplied tenant IDs alone.
Scope queries by organization
Enforce organization filters in repositories and APIs for every tenant-owned resource.
Add invites and role changes
Use Clerk invitations and sync membership webhooks into local membership tables.
Preview tenant isolation
Create two orgs in preview and confirm zero data leakage before merging.
Outcome
Clerk-backed multi-tenant auth with organizations, roles, and tenant-scoped data access you can ship.
