Overview

This node interacts with the Outline knowledge base API to manage groups and their memberships. Specifically, the "Get Memberships" operation under the "Group" resource retrieves the list of user memberships associated with a specified group. This is useful for scenarios where you need to audit or manage which users belong to a particular group within your Outline knowledge base.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching all members of a group to display in an admin dashboard.
  • Automating notifications or permissions updates based on group membership.
  • Integrating group membership data into other systems for access control or reporting.

Properties

Name Meaning
Group ID The unique identifier of the group for which to retrieve memberships.

Output

The output is a JSON object containing the memberships of the specified group. It typically includes details about each user who is a member of the group, such as user IDs and possibly roles or permissions within that group.

The exact structure depends on the Outline API response from the /groups.memberships endpoint but generally will be an array of membership objects.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Outline knowledge base API.
  • The node uses the Outline API endpoints via HTTP POST requests.
  • No additional external dependencies are required beyond the configured API authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Group ID: Ensure the Group ID provided is correct and exists in the Outline system.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • API rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the API might throttle requests.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors returned by the API will be passed through in the output JSON under an error field if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
    • Common error messages may include "Group not found" or "Unauthorized".

  • Resolution:

    • Double-check input parameters.
    • Confirm API credentials and permissions.
    • Handle errors gracefully using the node's built-in error handling options.
