Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to add a member to a specific project by making a POST request to the endpoint `/api/v4/projects/{id}/members`. It is useful for automating project member management in GitLab, such as adding users to projects programmatically based on workflow triggers.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically add a user to a GitLab project when a new employee joins the team.
  2. Add members to a project based on external system events or approvals.

Properties

Name Meaning
Skip Authentication Option to skip authentication for the request, useful for testing or public endpoints.
Authentication Select the authentication method to use, defaulting to GitLab API key authentication.
baseUrl The base URL of the GitLab instance, defaulting to https://gitlab.com.
Method HTTP method to use for the request, default is POST for this operation.
Path Parameters Parameters to be included in the request path, specifically the project ID (`id`) for this operation.

Output

JSON

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

Dependencies

  • Requires GitLab API key credential for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID (`id`) path parameter is correctly provided and corresponds to an existing project in GitLab.
  • Verify that the API key used has sufficient permissions to add members to the project.
  • Check the base URL if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to ensure it is correct.
  • Common errors include 401 Unauthorized (invalid or missing API key), 404 Not Found (invalid project ID), and 403 Forbidden (insufficient permissions).
