Overview

This node operation, "Retrieve Exec Groups Hide From Gal," is designed to query and retrieve information about executive groups with specific visibility settings related to a Global Address List (GAL). It is useful in scenarios where an organization needs to manage or audit group visibility within their directory services, particularly focusing on whether certain groups are hidden from the GAL.

Practical examples include:

  • Auditing which executive groups are hidden from the GAL for compliance or security reviews.
  • Filtering groups by type and tenant to generate reports or trigger workflows based on group visibility.
  • Integrating with directory management systems to automate updates or notifications about group visibility changes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Grouptype The type/category of the group to filter by.
Hidefromgal A flag indicating whether the group is hidden from the Global Address List (GAL).
Id The unique identifier of the group to retrieve.
Tenantfilter A filter specifying the tenant context to scope the query within multi-tenant systems.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the executive groups matching the specified criteria. This typically includes group attributes such as identifiers, visibility status, and other metadata relevant to the group's configuration in the directory.

If binary data output is supported, it would generally represent attachments or files related to the group data, but this is not indicated in the provided code snippet.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the AvantGuard CIPP service.
  • Depends on the base URL configured in the node credentials to connect to the appropriate API endpoint.
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package to build properties and handle OpenAPI integration.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials can cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect property values (e.g., invalid group ID or tenant filter) may result in empty responses or errors.
    • Network connectivity problems to the configured API endpoint will prevent data retrieval.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate issues with the API key or credential setup.
    • Validation errors may occur if required properties are missing or malformed.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network or endpoint availability problems.

To resolve these, verify that all required input properties are correctly set, ensure valid API credentials are configured, and confirm network access to the API service.
