n8n - 💡(How to fix) Fix Issues with my shared / personal credentials (where are they ? ) [5 comments, 4 participants]

Describe the problem/error/question

I'm building workflows that call the GitHub API.

I created shared credentials so they can be used by everyone. However, when I open the credentials list, they don't appear. If I create a new empty credential just to add an item to the list, then suddenly all the existing credentials appear. At that point, I can select the correct credential.

But when I run the workflow, it reports that no credential is set. When I edit the workflow again, the credential has disappeared.

I've already restarted the platform and cleared my browser cache, but the issue persists.

At this point, I'm blocked and unable to proceed.

What is the error message (if any)?

Problem in node ‘xxxxxx‘ Node "xxxxx" does not have access to the credential
