Overview

This node interacts with the Google Analytics API, specifically targeting the "Admin (V1Alpha) - Account Access Binding" resource to update an existing account access binding. It allows users to modify access permissions for users within a Google Analytics account by updating the details of an access binding.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Managing user access rights programmatically in Google Analytics accounts.
  • Automating updates to user roles or permissions across multiple accounts.
  • Integrating access control changes into broader workflows involving Google Analytics data management.

For example, if an organization wants to update the access level of a user on a specific Google Analytics account, this node can be used to send the updated access binding information to the Google Analytics Admin API.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array where each element corresponds to the response from the Google Analytics API for the update operation. The JSON structure reflects the updated access binding resource as returned by the API, typically including fields such as the binding's ID, user details, roles, and any other metadata associated with the access binding.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

  • Requires an OAuth2 credential configured for Google Analytics API access.
  • The node uses the Google Analytics Admin API endpoint https://analyticsadmin.googleapis.com/v1alpha.
  • Proper permissions must be granted to the OAuth2 credential to update account access bindings.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing credentials, ensure that a valid Google Analytics OAuth2 API credential is configured and selected.
  • Required Parameter Errors: Errors indicating missing "Account ID" or "Access Binding ID" mean these mandatory inputs were not provided. Verify these IDs are correctly set.
  • API Errors: Errors returned from the Google Analytics API may indicate permission issues, invalid IDs, or malformed request bodies. Check the API response message for details.
  • Update Mask Usage: When specifying the updateMask query parameter, ensure field names are in snake_case and correspond exactly to the fields being updated in the request body.
