Dataiku DSSInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Dataiku DSS API to perform a wide range of operations on various resources within a Dataiku DSS instance. Specifically for the Security resource and the Delete User operation, it allows users to delete a user account from the DSS system by specifying the user's login.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating administrative tasks such as managing users, groups, code environments, and permissions in Dataiku DSS. For example, an administrator can automate the removal of users who no longer require access, improving security and compliance.

Practical example:

• Automatically deleting a user from DSS when they leave an organization or change roles, triggered by an HR system event.

Properties

Output

The output of the node is a JSON array containing the response from the Dataiku DSS API after attempting to delete the specified user. Typically, for a delete operation, the response might be empty or contain status information confirming the deletion.

If the operation returns binary data (not typical for delete user), it would be provided as binary output, but for this operation, the output is JSON.

Example output JSON structure:

[
  {
    "Status Code": "204 No Content"
  }
]

or an empty JSON object indicating success.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to a Dataiku DSS instance.
• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Dataiku DSS API.
• The node expects the base URL of the DSS server and a valid user API key credential to be configured in n8n credentials.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Dataiku DSS API Credentials", ensure that the API key credential is properly set up in n8n and linked to the node.
• Required Parameter Missing: Errors like "Login is required" indicate that the user login parameter was not provided. Make sure to specify the login of the user to delete.
• API Errors: If the API returns errors (e.g., user not found, permission denied), verify that the API key has sufficient permissions and that the login exists.
• Network Issues: Connection failures may occur if the DSS server URL is incorrect or unreachable. Verify network connectivity and server address.
