Overview

This node operation allows you to set a new set of permissions for a specified role within a system that manages roles and permissions. It is useful in scenarios where you need to update or replace the entire permission set assigned to a particular role, such as when changing access levels for user groups or adjusting security policies.

For example, an administrator can use this operation to assign a fresh list of permissions to a "Manager" role, ensuring that the role has exactly the permissions required without retaining any old or obsolete permissions.

Properties

Name Meaning
Role ID The unique identifier of the role for which the permissions are being set.
New Permissions A string representing the new set of permissions to assign to the role.

Output

The output will contain the full response from the API call that sets the new permissions for the role. This typically includes confirmation of success or details about the updated permissions. The exact structure depends on the API but generally includes status information and possibly the updated role data.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
  • The node sends a POST request to an endpoint structured as /roles/{role_id}/permissions with the new permissions in the request body.
  • The base URL and authentication headers must be properly configured in the node credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Role ID: If the provided Role ID does not exist, the API may return an error indicating the role was not found. Verify the Role ID is correct.
  • Malformed Permissions String: The new permissions must be formatted correctly as expected by the API. Invalid formatting may cause the request to fail.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient privileges to modify role permissions.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the request from completing. Check network settings and API availability.

Links and References

  • Refer to your system's API documentation for detailed information on the permissions format and role management endpoints.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API key credentials and HTTP request nodes for custom integrations.
