Dataiku DSS

Use the Dataiku DSS API

Actions364

Overview

This node integrates with the Dataiku DSS API, allowing users to perform a wide range of operations on various Dataiku DSS resources. Specifically for the Security resource and the Get User operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific user in the DSS instance by their login name.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating user management workflows in Dataiku DSS.
  • Fetching user details for auditing or reporting purposes.
  • Integrating DSS user data into broader automation pipelines.

Practical example:

  • You want to retrieve information about a particular DSS user (e.g., their roles, groups, last activity) as part of an automated compliance check or user provisioning workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Login The login identifier (username) of the user whose information you want to retrieve.

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the user details retrieved from the Dataiku DSS API. This typically includes all available properties describing the user account, such as username, email, roles, groups, and other metadata managed by DSS.

If the operation involves downloading files or binary content (not applicable for "Get User"), the node would output binary data accordingly. For this operation, only JSON output is expected.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing credentials, ensure that the API key credential for Dataiku DSS is properly set up in n8n.
  • Required Parameter Missing: Errors like "Login is required" indicate that the Login property was not provided; make sure to specify the login of the user to fetch.
  • API Request Failures: Network issues, incorrect server URLs, or invalid API keys can cause request failures. Verify connectivity and credential validity.
  • Unexpected Response Format: If the response cannot be parsed as JSON, check if the DSS API endpoint is returning an error or unexpected content.
