Overview

This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific user from an Active Directory service. It is designed to fetch user details by specifying identifiers such as company ID, object GUID, and source, along with a user ID header for authentication or tracking purposes.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Integrating user data from Active Directory into workflows for identity verification.
  • Automating user profile synchronization between systems.
  • Fetching user attributes for access control or reporting purposes.

For example, you might use this node to get the full details of a user when processing onboarding workflows or auditing user accounts.

Properties

Name Meaning
Company Id Numeric identifier representing the company context in which the user exists.
Object Guid The unique object GUID string identifying the user in Active Directory.
Source The source system or domain from which the user data should be retrieved.
X USER ID A user identifier sent as a custom HTTP header, likely used for authentication or logging.
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to refine the query:
- Condition: Filter condition string.
- Skip: Number of records to skip.
- Limit: Maximum number of records to return.
- Order By: Field(s) to order the results by.

Output

The output JSON contains the detailed user information retrieved from Active Directory based on the provided identifiers and query parameters. This typically includes user attributes such as name, email, department, roles, and other directory-specific properties.

If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the code snippet), it would represent any associated files or attachments related to the user, but this is not indicated here.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the AvantGuard ConnectSecure service.
  • Depends on the base URL configuration for the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API endpoint.
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node for request building and execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Required Fields: Ensure that Company Id, Object Guid, Source, and X USER ID are all provided; missing these will cause the request to fail.
  • Authentication Errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Invalid Query Parameters: When using additional query parameters like condition, skip, limit, or order_by, ensure they conform to the expected syntax and values supported by the backend API.
  • Network Issues: Confirm that the base URL is reachable and there are no firewall or proxy restrictions blocking the request.
