AI-generatedSummary
Updates an existing NetXMS user by ID, sending only the fields you add under Update Fields via a PUT to /v1/users/{userId}.
Inputs
- User ID (required) — Numeric ID of the NetXMS user to update.
- Update Fields — Collection of optional fields to change: Description, Email, Full Name, New Password, Phone, and Username (new login name). Only fields you add are sent in the request body. If none are added, an empty object is sent.
Output shape
The JSON response from the NetXMS REST API for the PUT /v1/users/{userId} call, emitted as one or more n8n items per input item. The node doesn't add or reshape the data.
The exact response fields depend on the NetXMS server and aren't defined in the node. The node logs in at the start of each execution to get a session token. With Continue On Fail enabled, a failed item returns {error: message} instead of stopping the workflow.
Examples
Example 1: Change a user's email address after an HR update
User ID = 42; Update Fields: Email = new.name@example.com
Example 2: Reset a user's password and update their phone number
User ID from a previous step's expression; Update Fields: New Password and Phone
