Overview

This node operation "Finds Roles Associated with a Given User" under the "Permission" resource retrieves all roles assigned to a specific user by their unique user ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to audit, manage, or verify the roles and permissions of users within an application or system. For example, administrators can use this to check what roles a user has before granting additional access or performing role-based actions.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The unique identifier of a user whose roles are to be retrieved

Output

The output JSON contains a list of roles associated with the specified user. Each item in the list represents a role object with details about that role (such as role ID, name, description, etc.). This allows downstream nodes or workflows to process or display the user's roles.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the external service.
  • The node makes an HTTP GET request to the endpoint /users/{user_id}/roles on the configured API base URL.
  • The base URL is derived from credentials and must be properly set up in n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid User ID: Ensure the User ID property is provided and correctly formatted; otherwise, the API call will fail.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to query user roles.
  • User not found: If the user ID does not exist, the API may return a 404 error or empty result.
  • Network issues: Check connectivity to the API endpoint and correct base URL configuration.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests might lead to throttling; handle retries or backoff accordingly.

Links and References

  • Refer to your API's documentation for the /users/{user_id}/roles endpoint for detailed response schema and permission requirements.
  • n8n documentation on setting up API key credentials and HTTP Request nodes for further customization.
