Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to retrieve user preferences via the API v4 endpoint. It is useful for workflows that need to access or utilize a user's GitLab preferences programmatically, such as customizing user experience or integrating GitLab user settings into other systems.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve the current user's GitLab preferences to adjust application behavior based on those settings.
  2. Automate the extraction of user preferences for reporting or synchronization with other tools.
