Dataiku DSS

Overview

This node integrates with the Dataiku DSS API, enabling users to perform a wide range of operations on various Dataiku DSS resources. Specifically for the Security resource and the Delete Group operation, it allows deleting a security group by its name from the DSS instance.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating administrative tasks in Dataiku DSS such as managing user groups, projects, datasets, and other resources programmatically within n8n workflows. For example, an organization can automate the removal of obsolete or unauthorized security groups based on external triggers or schedules.

Practical example:

• Automatically delete a security group named "contractors" when a contract ends, ensuring that access permissions are promptly revoked without manual intervention.

Properties

Output

The output of the node is a JSON array containing the response from the Dataiku DSS API after performing the requested operation.

For the Delete Group operation under the Security resource, the output typically contains confirmation of the deletion or relevant status information returned by the API. If the deletion is successful, the output may be empty or contain a success message; if there is an error, the output will include error details.

No binary data output is associated with this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to a Dataiku DSS instance.
• Requires valid API credentials (an API key) for authentication with the Dataiku DSS API.
• The node expects the Dataiku DSS server URL and user API key to be configured in the credentials.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Credentials Error:
  If the node throws an error about missing API credentials, ensure that the Dataiku DSS API credentials are properly set up in n8n and linked to the node.

• Group Name Required Error:
  When deleting a group, the "Group Name" property must be provided. Omitting this will cause an error indicating the group name is required.

• API Request Errors:
  Errors returned from the Dataiku DSS API (e.g., group not found, permission denied) will be surfaced by the node. Check the group name correctness and your API user's permissions.

• Network Issues:
  Ensure that the n8n instance can reach the Dataiku DSS server URL and that no firewall or network restrictions block the API requests.
