Describe the problem/error/question

I am an admin on my N8N workspace and I have around 50-60 users. I am unable to assign them to projects I open so that we can better manage and organize our workflows. We have the enterprise level license so I want to be able to add members to projects and assign them project editor.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by checking the user roles and permissions in the N8N workspace to ensure that the admin has the necessary rights to assign users to projects.

Guidance

  • Verify that the admin account has the correct permissions to manage users and projects in the N8N workspace.
  • Check the user roles and permissions for the two users that can be added to projects to identify any differences with the other users.
  • Review the N8N documentation on user management and project assignment to ensure that the correct procedures are being followed.
  • Consider reaching out to N8N support for further assistance, as the issue may be related to the enterprise license or a specific configuration setting.

Notes

The issue may be related to a configuration setting or a limitation of the N8N platform, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check user roles and permissions to ensure that the admin has the necessary rights to assign users to projects, as this is a common issue in N8N workspaces.
