n8n User Project Credential and Rights Management SOP

Purpose

Control n8n users, projects, workflows, credentials, executions, API access and production publishing rights.

Decision Summary

Separate workflow building, credential custody and production activation. Role/project features depend on the installed n8n edition and licence.

Use Cases

n8n onboarding, workflow development, credential sharing, production deployment, API automation, incident response and offboarding.

Hardware Requirements

Existing supported platform, secure management path, tested backup and adequate capacity.

Backup Strategy

Export configuration and permissions before changes; protect credentials, certificates and secrets.

Recovery Strategy

Use approved break-glass access or restore known-good configuration; revoke unintended access and validate.

Secure Boot Notes

Keep Secure Boot enabled where supported; rights configuration does not require disabling it.
