Overview

This node operation checks if a specific permission is granted for a given user. It is useful in scenarios where you need to verify access rights or permissions before performing actions or granting access to resources within an application or system. For example, before allowing a user to edit a document or access certain features, this node can confirm whether the required permission is assigned to that user.

Properties

Name Meaning
Permission The name of the permission to check if it is granted for the user.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the API indicating whether the specified permission is granted for the user. Typically, this will be a boolean or an object containing a status field that confirms the permission state.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent related binary content, but this operation primarily deals with permission checking and returns JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the external service.
  • The base URL for API requests is configured via credentials.
  • The node sends a POST request to the endpoint /permissions/is_granted with the permission information in the request body.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Missing or invalid API key credential may cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect permission name could result in false negatives (permission not granted).
    • Network issues or incorrect base URL configuration might lead to request failures.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up.
    • Permission not found or denied: Verify the permission string is correct and the user has been assigned roles/permissions accordingly.
    • Timeout or connection errors: Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.

Links and References

  • Refer to your API provider's documentation on permission management and the /permissions/is_granted endpoint for detailed request and response formats.
  • n8n documentation on setting up API key credentials and HTTP request nodes for further customization.
