Overview

This node operation "Removes Roles From a Given User" under the "Permission" resource allows you to revoke one or more roles assigned to a specific user. It is useful in scenarios where you need to update user permissions by removing certain roles, for example, when a user's responsibilities change or access needs to be restricted.

Practical examples:

  • Removing administrative roles from a user who no longer requires elevated privileges.
  • Revoking project-specific roles when a user leaves a project team.
  • Cleaning up roles during user offboarding processes.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The unique identifier of the user from whom roles will be removed.
Role Names A string listing the names of the roles to remove from the user.

Output

The output JSON typically contains the full HTTP response from the API call that removes the roles from the user. This may include status information confirming the success or failure of the operation and any relevant metadata returned by the server.

If the node supports binary data output, it would generally relate to file or media content, but this operation deals with permissions and roles, so binary output is not applicable here.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests against the external permission management API.
  • The base URL for the API is derived from the credential's URL configuration.
  • The node sends a DELETE HTTP request to the endpoint /users/{user_id}/roles/{role_names} to perform the role removal.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing User ID or Role Names parameters will cause the API call to fail.
    • Insufficient permissions of the API key or user making the request can result in authorization errors.
    • Specifying role names that do not exist or are not assigned to the user may lead to partial failures or no changes.
  • Error messages:

    • 401 Unauthorized: Check that the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
    • 404 Not Found: Verify that the User ID and Role Names are correct and exist in the system.
    • 400 Bad Request: Ensure that all required parameters are provided and formatted correctly.

Links and References

  • Refer to your permission management system's API documentation for details on the DELETE /users/{user_id}/roles/{role_names} endpoint.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API key credentials and use HTTP request nodes if needed.
