Overview
This node integrates with the Outline knowledge base system, allowing users to manage groups and their memberships programmatically. Specifically, the "Add User" operation for the "Group" resource enables adding a user to an existing group within Outline. This is useful in scenarios where you want to automate user management workflows, such as onboarding new team members by automatically assigning them to relevant groups or managing access control dynamically.
Practical example: When a new employee joins a company, this node can be used to add their user ID to a specific group representing their department or project team in Outline, ensuring they have the appropriate access rights immediately.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the group to which the user will be added. |
| User ID | The unique identifier of the user to add to the specified group. |
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the response from the Outline API after attempting to add the user to the group. It typically contains details about the updated group membership or confirmation of the addition. If multiple items are processed, the output is an array of such JSON objects, each paired with the corresponding input item index.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Outline API.
- The node uses the Outline API endpoints to perform actions; thus, network connectivity to the Outline service is necessary.
- No additional environment variables or external services are required beyond the API authentication.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Group ID or User ID parameters will cause the API request to fail.
- Insufficient permissions on the API key may prevent adding users to groups.
- Network connectivity problems can cause request timeouts or failures.
Error messages:
- Errors returned from the Outline API will be passed through, often indicating issues like "Group not found," "User not found," or "Permission denied."
- To resolve, verify that the provided IDs are correct and that the API key has sufficient privileges.
Handling failures:
- The node supports continuing on failure, allowing workflows to proceed even if some additions fail, with error details included in the output.
