Describe the problem/error/question

User has been added to our workspace, is a member, and has already logged out and back in as part of our troubleshooting. When I try to invite them to our RevOps project, their name does not appear in the list for me to select.

What is the error message (if any)?

None

Please share your workflow/screenshots/recording

The user was invited via email to our N8N workspace, they accepted and created their account. When I try to add them to a project, their name does not show up in the list. They have logged out and back in to see if that helped, it did not, I still cannot add them to the project. I am seeing a ton of other users in forums with the same issue, but they were able to resolve it by adding the user to the workspace first and then inviting them to the project. This is what we have done already, and the user just isn't showing up in the list to invite. When I try to test inviting them to our other project, they also do not show up, but every other member does. This seems to be only affecting this one user.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The user is likely not showing up in the project invite list due to a potential issue with user synchronization or permissions in the N8N workspace.

Guidance

  • Verify that the user's role and permissions are correctly set in the N8N workspace, as this might affect their visibility in the project invite list.
  • Check the N8N workspace settings to ensure that the user is indeed a member of the workspace and has the necessary permissions to be invited to projects.
  • Try inviting the user to a different project to see if the issue is specific to the RevOps project or a more general problem.
  • Review the N8N documentation and community forums for any known issues or workarounds related to user synchronization and project invites.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not directly relevant to the issue.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to this one user, and other users are visible in the project invite list. The fact that the user has logged out and back in and still doesn't appear in the list suggests a potential issue with the user's account or permissions.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try manually checking the user's permissions and role in the N8N workspace, and ensure they are correctly set up as a member of the workspace. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to N8N support for further assistance.
