I’m running N8N locally, and I would need to hire someone to assist me with the flows (starting to take time).
What are the best practices for doing that? I would like, if possible, to invite someone to look at the flows without seeing any credentials.
I have the normal community version.
It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.
n8n version: 1.78.1
Database (default: SQLite): SQLite
n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default
Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):npm
Operating system: Win10
Hi - a simple solution could be using Tailscale, inviting an external user and limiting the user to access only your n8n-instance.
Let me know if you have questions or need help setting this up.
Hi, thanks, for the tip. I mean, can I create separate users with rights to edit flows, without the ability to see the credentials?
The Community Edition does not offer access control - see Community edition features | n8n Docs. If you need this, you’ll need to switch to Cloud.
as @bartv already mentioned there is no possibility of access control within the community-edition, however accessing your local instance via the web / from outside can be achieved.
As for credentials: passwords or OAuth informations are not directly visible within the web-interface but they may be exploited using an n8n-API-key and the export-functionality.
on the other hand: I usually set-up a workflow for my clients using my local / web-based n8n-instance and credentials for a test-environment and then export the final workflow to my clients instance where they just need to assign the correct set of credentials.
There are multiple ways to have a working solution in your case.
