extent analysis

TL;DR

Filtering the workflow history by project may resolve the error and allow viewing of the workflow history.

Guidance

  • The error message suggests that the issue is related to permissions and listing all users, which can be resolved by filtering by project.
  • Check the project settings to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to view the workflow history.
  • Try filtering the workflow history by project to see if it resolves the error.
  • If the issue persists, review the n8n configuration and permissions to ensure that they are set up correctly.

Notes

The provided information suggests that the issue is related to permissions and project settings, but further investigation may be needed to fully resolve the issue.

Recommendation
