key :organization_id not found

[thantez]

hi
I tried to install invitation extension for my project according to its README but when I entered email for inviting an user I got this error:
key :organization_id not found in: %Project.Account.User{__meta__: #Ecto.Schema.Metadata<:loaded, "users">, confirm_password: nil, current_password: nil, email: "[email protected]", email_confirmation_token: "ef6e1f6e-beeb-43e4-b8e3-ae43cf685d83", email_confirmed_at: #DateTime<2019-08-26 14:02:43Z>, id: 5, inserted_at: ~N[2019-08-26 14:02:33], invitation_accepted_at: nil, invitation_token: nil, invited_by: #Ecto.Association.NotLoaded<association :invited_by is not loaded>, invited_by_id: nil, invited_users: #Ecto.Association.NotLoaded<association :invited_users is not loaded>, password: nil, password_hash: "$pbkdf2-sha512$100000$X3UILb2A8IL6sCDzgmzyNA==$zVjYxeaQpkYjNxeFXl4De5wyVtFX2qyxQ4P0ad7UblEI4A6r69jCEiWlcEMKstwzZW8vV9hzWcb63HcVLex54g==", unconfirmed_email: nil, updated_at: ~N[2019-08-26 14:02:43]}

and that was predictable. this is my user module:

defmodule Project.Account.User do
  use Ecto.Schema
  use Pow.Ecto.Schema
  use Pow.Extension.Ecto.Schema,
    extensions: [PowResetPassword, PowEmailConfirmation, PowPersistentSession, PowInvitation]

  schema "users" do
    pow_user_fields()
    timestamps()
  end

  def changeset(user_or_changeset, attrs) do
    user_or_changeset
    |> pow_changeset(attrs)
    |> pow_extension_changeset(attrs)
  end

  def invite_changeset(user_or_changeset, invited_by, attrs) do
    user_or_changeset
    |> pow_invite_changeset(invited_by, attrs)
    |> changeset_organization(invited_by)
  end

  defp changeset_organization(changeset, invited_by) do
    Ecto.Changeset.change(changeset, organization_id: invited_by.organization_id)
  end
end

so what should I do?
thanks.

You have to add a belongs to association first:

  # Schema

  schema "users" do
    belongs_to Project.Account.Organization

    pow_user_fields()
    timestamps()
  end

  # ...

  # Migration

  def change do
    alter table(:users) do
      add :organization_id, references(:organizations)
    end
  end

  # ...

I wonder what organization is, is it about administration and managing users levels?

[danschultzer]

Organization is just the scope for your user. A common structure is that you have teams on your platform that users belongs to, e.g. how slack works. The example is to show how you can make sure that the user that gets invited will belong to the same team as the inviter. You wouldn't need to use the above unless you have some scope that invited users should belong to.

wow.
I thought inviting is just for advertising by users,
for example bob invite jack for ad site to him.
thanks a lot.

It can be used that way too, PowInvitation was made to just expose a basic invitation system. It can be used/customized for tons of things.

man it would be so cool to have a guide on adding organization_id in Pow. I'm still a beginner, that would help immensely

I’ve it planned for https://powauth.com. Here’s a draft: pow-auth/pow_site#11 (comment)
