How to Add Multi-Tenancy to a Nuxt App

Building multi-tenancy into a Nuxt app is mostly a problem of boundaries.

You need to decide which resources belong to an individual user, which belong to an organization, and which actions require explicit role checks before you worry about UI polish.

Start with the tenant model

Define the organization model first:

• organization
• membership
• role
• invitation

Every feature that is shared between teammates should hang off that model instead of the user record.

Keep routing and permissions explicit

Avoid hidden assumptions in your server handlers.

Each request should resolve:

1. the current user
2. the active organization
3. the user role inside that organization
4. whether the requested resource belongs to that organization

Make billing organization-aware

If subscriptions belong to the team account, keep the billing record attached to the organization instead of to one person.

That reduces edge cases later when a founder invites teammates or hands over billing operations.
