Add multiple users to your n8n instance! | User Management MVP Feature Release

[MutedJam]

Hey @Paul_H, sorry for the late reply here. Unfortunately, questions can easily get lost if you post them in the Announcements category, so you might want to open a new topic in case you run into errors going forward and can’t find an existing discussion around the problem.

The workflow you are referring to makes use of an undocumented and unsupported REST API used by the n8n UI. This API can change without notice, so your best bet here would be to wait for an official n8n REST API to become available.

That said, as for the API authentication in n8n versions including user management specifically, @pemontto shared a simple workaround in this thread:

Credential unauthorized

I had to workaround this for my backup workflow. Some /rest endpoints now need a JWT in addition to basic auth. You’ll need to do a single auth request before this, then add a Cookie header in subsequent requests. The JWT expiry seems to be a week, so you should only have to do it once per workflow rather than before each request.

Hope this helps!
