Overview

This node operation allows you to create a new role within a permission management system. Roles are typically used to group permissions and assign them collectively to users or groups, simplifying access control management. This node is beneficial in scenarios where you want to programmatically manage user roles, such as automating the setup of new roles for different teams or projects.

For example, you might use this node to create a "Manager" role with specific permissions that can then be assigned to all managers in your organization, ensuring consistent access rights.

Properties

Name Meaning
Name The name of the role to be created. This is a required string input.
Description A description of the role, explaining its purpose or scope. This is a required string input.

Output

The output of this node will contain the JSON response from the API after creating the role. This typically includes details about the newly created role such as its unique identifier, name, description, and possibly metadata related to creation time or status.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests to the permission management API.
  • The base URL for the API is dynamically constructed from the provided credentials.
  • The node sends a POST request to the /roles endpoint with the role's name and description in the request body.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Required Fields: If the "Name" or "Description" fields are empty, the API will likely return an error indicating missing required parameters. Ensure both fields are filled.
  • Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is invalid or missing, authentication errors will occur. Verify that the API key is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
  • API Endpoint Issues: If the base URL or endpoint path is incorrect or the server is unreachable, the request will fail. Confirm the API URL and network connectivity.
  • Duplicate Role Names: Attempting to create a role with a name that already exists may result in an error. Use unique role names.

Links and References

  • Refer to your permission management system's API documentation for detailed information on role creation endpoints and expected request/response formats.
  • n8n documentation on HTTP Request Node for understanding how API calls are made.
