Overview

This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific user associated with a distributor. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and display user details within a distributor context, such as for auditing, user management, or integration with other systems that require user data from distributors.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Show the profile of a particular user linked to a distributor.
  • Retrieve user-specific settings or permissions within a distributor.
  • Integrate distributor user data into a CRM or reporting tool.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the user whose details you want to retrieve. This property scopes the response to the specified user ID.

Output

The output will contain a JSON object representing the user's details associated with the given distributor. This typically includes fields such as user ID, name, email, roles, status, and other relevant user attributes defined by the API.

If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent any files or attachments related to the user, but based on the static analysis, the output is primarily JSON data describing the user.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the external service managing distributor users.
  • The node uses a base URL pointing to https://api.dnsfilter.com indicating it interacts with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Id: If the "Id" property is not provided or incorrect, the node will likely fail to retrieve user data. Ensure the user ID is valid and correctly entered.
  • Authentication errors: Errors related to API authentication usually indicate missing or invalid API credentials. Verify that the API key credential is set up correctly.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
  • API rate limits or permissions: The external API may enforce rate limits or require specific permissions for accessing user data. Review API documentation and ensure the API key has sufficient rights.
