Overview

This node operation allows adding a member to a specific GitLab project by sending a POST request to the GitLab API endpoint `/api/v4/projects/{id}/members`. It is useful for automating project member management in GitLab, such as adding users to projects with specific roles programmatically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically add a user to a GitLab project when a new project is created.
  2. Manage project access by adding members based on external triggers or workflows.

Properties

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

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.
  • created_at - Timestamp when the member was added to the project.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID (`id`) path parameter is correctly set 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 request body schema to ensure all required fields for adding a member are included and correctly formatted.
  • Common error messages include 401 Unauthorized (invalid or missing API key), 404 Not Found (project ID does not exist), and 403 Forbidden (insufficient permissions). Resolving these involves verifying credentials, project existence, and user permissions.
