Overview

This node operation allows adding a member to a GitLab group by making a POST request to the GitLab API endpoint `/api/v4/groups/{id}/members`. It is useful for automating group membership management in GitLab, such as adding users to groups programmatically during onboarding or project setup.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically add a new user to a specific GitLab group when they join an organization.
  2. Manage group memberships in GitLab as part of a CI/CD pipeline or administrative workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication If set to true, the node will skip using authentication for the API request.
Authentication The authentication method used for the API request, defaulting to GitLab API key authentication.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance to which the API request is sent, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method The HTTP method used for the API request, defaulting to POST for this operation.
Path Parameters The path parameters for the API request, specifically the group ID (`id`) to which a member will be added.

Output

JSON

  • id - The ID of the added group member.
  • username - The username of the added member.
  • access_level - The access level granted to the member in the group.
  • state - The state of the member in the group (e.g., active).
  • created_at - Timestamp when the member was added to the group.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the group ID (`id`) path parameter is correctly set and corresponds to an existing GitLab group.
  • Verify that the API key used for authentication has sufficient permissions to add members to the group.
  • Check the request body schema to ensure all required fields for adding a member are provided.
  • Common error messages include 401 Unauthorized (invalid or missing API key), 404 Not Found (group ID does not exist), and 403 Forbidden (insufficient permissions). Resolving these involves correcting credentials, verifying group existence, and ensuring proper access rights.
