CIPP

Interact with CIPP API

Actions18

Overview

The node named "CIPP" is designed to interact with the CIPP API, providing various operations across multiple resources including Users, Tenants, Groups, Licenses, and Calendar Permissions. Specifically for the User resource and the List User operation, the node retrieves user information based on provided identifiers.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where you need to programmatically access user data from the CIPP system, such as integrating user management into workflows, syncing user details with other systems, or automating reporting tasks.

Example use cases:

  • Fetching detailed information about a specific user by their user ID.
  • Filtering users within a particular tenant to generate reports or trigger conditional workflows.
  • Integrating user data retrieval into automated onboarding or offboarding processes.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The unique identifier of the user whose information you want to retrieve.
Tenant Filter The tenant ID used to filter the user data, ensuring the query is scoped to a specific tenant.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the user(s) retrieved from the CIPP API. The structure typically includes user attributes such as IDs, names, email addresses, and any other user-related metadata provided by the API.

If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent attachments or files related to the user, but this is not indicated here.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the CIPP API.
  • The base URL for the API is dynamically set from the credentials (ApiUrl).
  • The node expects the API to respond with JSON-formatted data.
  • Proper configuration of the OAuth2 API credential is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect User ID or Tenant Filter values may result in empty responses or errors indicating that the user was not found.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the CIPP API endpoint.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or expired tokens; re-authenticate or update credentials.
    • "User not found" errors suggest verifying the correctness of the User ID and Tenant Filter.
    • Timeout or connection errors require checking network settings and API availability.
