OpenProjectInstall

Overview

This node operation creates a placeholder user in the "Principals" resource of the OpenProject system. It is useful when you need to add a temporary or generic user entity without full user details, for example, to assign tasks or track actions before the actual user account is created. Practical scenarios include project management workflows where placeholder users represent roles or external collaborators.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the OpenProject API after creating the placeholder user. Typically, this includes details about the newly created user such as their ID, name, and other metadata returned by the API. The node does not explicitly handle binary data output.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
• The base URL for the OpenProject instance must be configured in the node credentials.
• The node uses the OpenProject REST API endpoint for creating principals (users).

Troubleshooting

• Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to create users.
• Invalid input: The "Name" property must be a non-empty string; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
• API connectivity issues: Verify that the base URL is correct and the OpenProject server is reachable.
• Unexpected API responses: Check if the OpenProject API version matches the expected schema used by the node.
