Overview

This node interacts with a permission management API to find and retrieve details about a user based on their unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch user information for access control, auditing, or role assignment purposes within an organization or system that manages permissions centrally.

For example, if you have a user ID and want to get the user's profile or permission-related data from the system, this node operation will perform that lookup.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The unique identifier of a user to be found

Output

The output JSON contains the user details retrieved from the API corresponding to the provided user ID. This typically includes user attributes such as username, roles, permissions, and other metadata associated with the user in the permission system.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the permission management API.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node sends an HTTP GET request to the endpoint /users/{user_id} to fetch user details.

Troubleshooting

  • User Not Found: If the user ID does not exist, the API may return a 404 error. Verify the correctness of the user ID.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to query user data.
  • Network Issues: Check connectivity to the API endpoint and ensure the base URL is correctly configured without trailing slashes.
  • Invalid Input: The User ID property is required; missing or empty values will cause errors.

Links and References

  • Refer to your permission management system's API documentation for detailed user object schema and authentication requirements.
  • Consult n8n documentation on setting up API key credentials and HTTP request nodes for further customization.
