problem with sanctum api key that is based on another model (not user)

Hello! My application API keys are based on a model called organization (not users).


class organization extends Model
{
    use HasFactory,HasApiTokens;
...
}

On a request with the authorization key (using the sanctum middleware) I want to retrieve the id of the organization. I tried :

auth('sanctum')->organization()->id

which doesn't work, however if it was the user model this would work:

auth('sanctum')->user()->id

I probably need to add a method but I'm not sure where.

Thanks :)

If your authenticated user belongs to an organization you could do something like:

auth('sanctum')->user()->organization->id

I would eager load organization within User-model with protected $with = ['organization'].

Additionally: You need to have a look and understanding of Laravel auth-guards and it's providers, if you want to use a different auth-guard for organizations.
