Role Based Access to Tasks or Nodes?

[Steven]

Does n8n support role based access to nodes? And how is this implemented?

No, not yet. See this feature request:

User and Privilege Management [GOT CREATED]

Hi Team, Now n8n only have an optional basic credential auth method, but I think there should have a user management feature, so that users could mange their own workflows, and multi-users could share a n8n instance. In addition, the ‘Group’ could be added to n8n – users in same groups could adjust shared workflows. Any discussing or roadmap about this (user/group/privillege/security management)? Thanks

Ok, what is a workaround for this in the meantime?

Hi @Steven,

Short of forking n8n, I’m not sure there are readily available workarounds to this - other than simply having separate instances.

We are working on User Management however (i.e. not waiting in a backlog).

Ok, I am considering using combination of Camunda for main process flow because it has RBAC, and stores process state. Since our team is javascript all tasks in Javascript and some flows using n8n
