Hi N8N Team,
In my usecase i already have a superuser, now I need to create another owner account.
when I try to create using this API( http://localhost:5678/rest/owner), it was giving error like
below in postmon.
Payload:
{ “email”:“test”,
“firstName”:“test”,
“lastName”:“test”,
“password”: “test”}

ERROR MESSAGE:
{
“code”: 0,
“message”: “Invalid request”,
“hint”: “”,
“stack”: “ResponseError: Invalid request\n at C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\packages\cli\src\UserManagement\routes\owner.ts:33:11\n at C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\packages\cli\src\ResponseHelper.ts:153:23\n at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\layer.js:95:5)\n at next (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\route.js:144:13)\n at Route.dispatch (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\route.js:114:3)\n at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\layer.js:95:5)\n at C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:284:15\n at Function.process_params (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:346:12)\n at next (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:280:10)\n at C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\packages\cli\src\UserManagement\routes\index.ts:137:3\n at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\layer.js:95:5)\n at trim_prefix (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:328:13)\n at C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:286:9\n at Function.process_params (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:346:12)\n at next (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:280:10)\n at C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\packages\cli\src\UserManagement\routes\index.ts:100:4\n at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\layer.js:95:5)\n at trim_prefix (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:328:13)\n at C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:286:9\n at Function.process_params (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:346:12)\n at next (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:280:10)\n at complete (C:\Users\PraveenBabu\Desktop\radium1.1\RADIUM\n8n\node_modules\passport\lib\middleware\authenticate.js:271:13)”

Hi @praveen, this is not currently supported I am afraid. You could try hacking your way towards a multiple owner setup as described here, but this might lead to unpredictable behaviour.

It’s sort of rediculous for force business software into singlar individual ownership in 2026. Applications are owned by teams in companies, not individuals.
