Overview

This node operation retrieves the count of associations for a specific user in GitLab via the GitLab API v4. It is useful for scenarios where you need to get metadata about a user's linked resources or associations within GitLab, such as integrations or connected accounts. For example, it can be used in automation workflows to monitor user activity or manage user-related data in GitLab.

Use Case Examples

  1. Get the number of associations for a user with a given user ID to audit user connections.
  2. Use the count of user associations to trigger alerts or further actions in a DevOps pipeline.

Output

JSON

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the user ID provided in the path parameters is valid and exists in the GitLab instance.
  • If authentication is enabled, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions to access user data.
  • Check the base URL to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance, especially if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
