Overview

This node operation creates a new user group within a permission management system. It is useful for organizing users into groups to manage access control and permissions more efficiently. For example, an organization can create groups such as "Admins," "Editors," or "Viewers" to assign different levels of access to resources or applications.

Practical scenarios include:

  • Creating a group for a project team to grant them specific permissions.
  • Organizing users by department or role to simplify permission assignments.
  • Managing access rights in bulk by assigning roles or permissions to groups instead of individual users.

Properties

Name Meaning
Name The name of the user group to be created.
Description A description providing details about the purpose or characteristics of the user group.

Output

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

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent any file or media content returned by the API, but this operation primarily deals with JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the permission management system's API.
  • The base URL for the API is configured via credentials and used to send HTTP POST requests.
  • The node sends a POST request to the /groups endpoint with the group name and description in the request body.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Required Fields: If "Name" or "Description" is not provided, the API will likely return an error indicating missing required fields. Ensure these are filled before execution.
  • Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is invalid or missing, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify that the correct API key is configured.
  • API Endpoint Issues: Network issues or incorrect base URL configuration can cause request failures. Confirm the API URL and network connectivity.
  • Duplicate Group Names: Attempting to create a group with a name that already exists might result in an error. Use unique group names.

Links and References

  • Refer to the permission management system's official API documentation for detailed information on the /groups endpoint and user group management.
  • n8n documentation on how to configure API key credentials and use HTTP request nodes for custom integrations.
