Overview
This node operation creates a new SSH user within a specified project. It is useful for automating the management of SSH access, especially when provisioning or managing users programmatically in environments where SSH/SFTP access needs to be controlled and tracked. For example, it can be used to create temporary SSH users for contractors or automated systems with specific expiration dates and authentication methods.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Project Id | The unique identifier of the project for which the SSH user will be created. |
| Authentication | The method of authentication for the SSH user. Options: password or public-keys. |
| Description | A textual description of the SSH user being created, useful for identification or notes. |
| Expires At | Optional expiration date/time for the SSH user, after which the user access may be revoked. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the SSH user creation request. This typically includes details about the newly created SSH user such as its ID, status, and any metadata returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
- The node communicates with the mittwald mStudio API endpoint at
https://api.mittwald.de. - Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful requests.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to create SSH users.
- Invalid Project Id: Verify that the provided Project Id exists and is accessible by the authenticated user.
- Invalid authentication method: Only "password" or "public-keys" are accepted; using other values will cause errors.
- Expiration date format: If provided, ensure the "Expires At" value is in a valid date-time format recognized by the API.
- Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to the mittwald API endpoint.
