Overview
This node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne API to manage devices within an IT environment. Specifically, the "Set Device Owner" operation allows users to assign or update the owner of a particular device by specifying the device's identifier and the new owner's unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where device ownership changes due to personnel shifts, asset reallocation, or administrative updates.
Practical examples include:
- Updating the owner of a laptop when it is reassigned to a different employee.
- Correcting device ownership information after onboarding new staff.
- Automating asset management workflows by syncing device ownership data from HR systems.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | The unique numeric identifier of the device whose owner is being set. |
| Owner Uid | The unique string identifier of the new device owner. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the "Set Device Owner" operation. This typically includes confirmation details such as the updated device information or status messages returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne service.
- Needs the base URL of the NinjaOne API configured in the node credentials.
- Depends on the
@avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-nodepackage for building request properties and handling API communication.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Device Id: If the device identifier does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return an error indicating the device was not found. Verify the device ID before running the node.
- Invalid Owner Uid: Providing an invalid or non-existent owner UID can cause the operation to fail. Ensure the owner UID corresponds to a valid user in the system.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or incorrect API credentials will prevent the node from connecting to the NinjaOne API. Confirm that the API key and base URL are correctly configured.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failed requests. Check network access to the NinjaOne API endpoint.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might be throttled by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
