Data Tables don't support sharing among team members on n8n cloud

Questions

Looks like this could be a limitation/lack of feature on n8n cloud. We cannot share Data Tables among team members on n8n cloud.

As a result of this, we’re unable to use those Data Tables within workflows that are shared with everyone on the team.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hi @jitesh

The “limitation” you are experiencing is likely because the Data Tables were created in your Personal space rather than within a Shared Project​.

To make Data Tables accessible to your team:

  1. Create a Project: Go to the Projects section and create a new project (e.g., “Team Production”).
  2. Add Team Members: Ensure all relevant team members are added to this project with the appropriate permissions (Editor/Admin).
  3. Create Tables in the Project: Ensure you have the Project selected in the top-left dropdown before creating your Data Tables. Tables created here will be visible to everyone in the project.

Currently, n8n does not have a direct “Move to Project” button for Data Tables. If you already have data in a personal table that you need to share, you can use this workaround:

  1. Create a new Data Table with the same schema (columns) inside your Shared Project​.
  2. Create a temporary workflow:
    • Node 1 (Data Table): Read all rows from your Personal table.
    • Node 2 (Data Table): Append those rows into the new Shared Project table.
  3. Update your shared workflows to reference the new Project-scoped table.
