Directus (denkhaus)Install

Overview

The "User - Update Multiple" operation in this custom n8n node allows you to update several user records at once in a Directus system. This is particularly useful for bulk-editing user information, such as updating roles, titles, or other attributes across multiple users efficiently. For example, if your organization needs to change the job title of several users to "CTO" or update their status, this node streamlines the process by accepting a list of user IDs and the new data to apply.

Properties

Output

• The output will be a JSON array/object reflecting the result of the update operation for each specified user.
• Each entry typically includes the updated user data as returned by the Directus API.
• No binary data is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires access to a Directus instance with appropriate permissions to update user records.
• May require an API key or authentication credentials configured in n8n for the Directus node.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Invalid or missing user IDs in the keys array may result in errors or no updates.
  • Incorrect field names or invalid data types in the data object can cause the update to fail.
  • Insufficient permissions in Directus may prevent updates.

• Error Messages:

  • "Invalid primary key(s)": Ensure all user IDs in keys exist in your Directus instance.
  • "Validation failed for field...": Check that the fields in data match the Directus user schema.
  • "Authentication required": Verify that your n8n Directus credentials are set up correctly.
