Directus (denkhaus)Install

Overview

This n8n node is designed to retrieve information about a specific Role from a Directus instance. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch details of a particular role by its unique identifier, such as for user management, permissions auditing, or integration with other systems that require role metadata.

Practical examples:

• Fetching the details of an admin role to display in a dashboard.
• Integrating with another system that needs to verify role properties before assigning users.
• Auditing roles and their permissions within your Directus project.

Properties

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the details of the requested role. The structure typically includes fields such as:

{
  "id": "c86c2761-65d3-43c3-897f-6f74ad6a5bd7",
  "name": "Admin",
  "description": "Administrator role with full access",
  "permissions": [/* ... */],
  // ...other role-specific fields
}

Note: The exact fields depend on your Directus setup.

Dependencies

• Directus API: Requires access to a running Directus instance.
• Authentication: May require an API key or valid credentials configured in n8n to authenticate requests to Directus.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid ID: If the provided ID does not match any existing role, the node may return an error or an empty result. Double-check the ID value.
• Authentication Errors: If credentials are missing or incorrect, you may see errors related to authentication failure. Ensure your n8n Directus credentials are set up properly.
• Network Issues: If n8n cannot reach the Directus server, check your network connection and Directus server status.
