Overview

This node operation assigns one or more roles to a specified user within a permission management system. It is useful in scenarios where you need to manage user access rights and permissions by grouping them into roles, then assigning these roles to users. For example, an administrator can assign "editor" and "viewer" roles to a new employee to grant appropriate access levels.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The unique identifier of the user to whom roles will be assigned.
Role Names A string listing the names of roles to assign to the user (likely comma-separated).

Output

The output JSON contains the full response from the API call that assigns roles to the user. This typically includes confirmation of the assignment and any relevant metadata returned by the server. There is no binary data output for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
  • The node sends a PUT HTTP request to an endpoint structured as /users/{user_id}/roles/{role_names} on the base URL provided by the credentials.
  • The API expects JSON content type.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid User ID: If the user ID does not exist, the API may return an error indicating the user was not found. Verify the user ID is correct.
  • Invalid Role Names: If one or more role names are invalid or do not exist, the API might reject the request. Ensure all role names are valid and exist in the system.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or incorrect API key credentials will cause authentication failures. Confirm the API key is correctly set up in n8n.
  • Permission Denied: The authenticated user must have sufficient privileges to assign roles. Lack of permissions will result in an error.
  • Formatting of Role Names: Role names should be formatted as expected by the API (e.g., comma-separated if multiple). Incorrect formatting may cause errors.

Links and References

  • Refer to your permission management system's API documentation for details on the /users/{user_id}/roles/{role_names} endpoint.
  • Consult n8n documentation on setting up API key credentials and HTTP request nodes for further configuration help.
