Overview
This node integrates with the IT Glue API to update an existing password entry. It allows users to modify various attributes of a stored password, such as its name, notes, actual password value, category, restrictions, visibility, associated URL, and username. This is useful in scenarios where password details need to be kept current or corrected without creating new entries, for example, updating credentials after a password rotation or adding additional context notes.
Practical examples:
- Updating the password value and notes after a security policy change.
- Changing the URL or username associated with a password when a service endpoint changes.
- Marking a password as restricted to limit access within an organization.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Password ID | The unique identifier of the password entry to update (required). |
| Update Fields | A collection of fields to update on the password entry. Options include: |
| - Name | The new name for the password. |
| - Notes | Additional notes or comments about the password. |
| - Password | The actual password string to store. |
| - Password Category ID | Identifier for the category this password belongs to. |
| - Restricted | Boolean flag indicating if the password is restricted (true/false). |
| - Show Password | Boolean flag indicating whether to display the password in plain text (true/false). |
| - URL | The URL associated with the password (e.g., login page). |
| - Username | The username linked to the password. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated password object as returned by the IT Glue API. This typically includes all the updated fields along with metadata such as the password's ID, timestamps, and any related resource links.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or files related to the password, but this operation focuses on JSON updates only.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the IT Glue API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The node uses the IT Glue REST API endpoints for password management.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Password ID: If the provided Password ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will return an error. Verify the ID is correct.
- Insufficient Permissions: Errors may occur if the API token lacks permissions to update passwords. Ensure the API key has appropriate scopes.
- Empty Update Fields: If no fields are specified to update, the request might fail or have no effect. Always provide at least one field to update.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent updates may hit rate limits imposed by IT Glue. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
- Malformed Field Values: Providing invalid data types (e.g., non-boolean for restricted) can cause errors. Validate input types before execution.
