快来看,n8n更新了!推出专为企业治理打造的自定义项目角色与单点登录用户配置功能。

内容总结:
n8n项目功能:为企业级自动化提供可控的规模化基石
在大型组织中,自动化平台n8n通过其核心的“项目”功能实现安全、可控的规模化协作。该功能将单个n8n实例划分为多个独立的工作空间,使不同团队、业务单元或环境能在同一平台内安全地管理各自的工作流、凭证、数据和执行历史,避免了自动化管理陷入混乱。
随着企业自动化规模扩大,核心挑战从“能否运行”转向“如何管控”。n8n通过两项关键能力构建了严密的访问控制体系:
一、自定义项目角色:实现精细化权限管控
管理员可在项目层级创建高度定制化的角色(如工作流构建员、审核员、操作员等),并基于最小权限原则,精确控制其对工作流、凭证、文件夹等资源的访问。结合多环境部署,该功能确保了团队能在开发中安全迭代,而不会影响生产环境。
二、用户自动配置:同步身份管理体系
通过与单点登录(SSO)身份提供商集成,n8n可自动同步用户权限。当员工入职、转岗或离职时,其在n8n中的访问权限将随企业身份管理系统自动更新,消除了手动管理权限的繁琐与滞后,确保了权限生命周期的统一性。
协同价值:构建可审计、可扩展的治理层
这两项功能共同将“项目”提升为n8n内部的可治理组织层。企业得以在跨团队大规模推行自动化的同时,确保访问权限清晰可控、操作可审计,并与既有的身份认证与安全实践无缝对齐,显著降低了大型多团队环境下的权限管理成本和运营风险。
中文翻译:
项目是n8n在大型组织中实现扩展的核心机制。它作为一种单元,使得单个n8n实例能够在团队、业务单元和环境之间安全共享,同时避免自动化流程陷入无序状态。
每个项目都是一个独立的工作空间,拥有专属的工作流、凭证、数据、变量和执行历史记录。这种隔离性使得n8n能够作为中央平台运行,而无需为每个团队单独部署实例。随着使用规模的扩大,这种机制也为权责划分与治理奠定了基础。
在企业级规模下,挑战已不再是自动化能否运行,而在于如何实现有效管控。若缺乏严格的项目级访问控制,组织将很快面临以下常见问题:
- 权限设置过于宽泛
- 共享凭证难以审计追踪
- 手动调整的角色配置随时间推移产生偏差
- 工作流构建者、审核者与部署者之间的权责边界模糊
自定义项目角色与用户配置功能通过规范访问控制的双重维度,共同应对这些挑战:
- 自定义项目角色允许管理员在项目层级创建真正定制化的角色。企业可借此映射实际运营角色(如工作流构建者、审核者、操作员或平台管理员),并对工作流、凭证、文件夹及版本控制系统实施最小权限访问。结合多环境管理,这些角色能帮助团队安全地进行构建与迭代,避免对生产环境造成意外影响。
- 通过单点登录实现的用户配置功能,可在身份提供商与n8n之间同步用户权限。这确保n8n权限体系与组织其他系统保持相同的生命周期管理——当人员入职、转岗或离职时,其权限将自动更新,无需手动干预。
这些能力共同将项目转化为n8n内部受治理的组织层级,使企业能够在跨团队扩展自动化的同时,保持访问权限的可预测性、可审计性,并与现有身份验证及安全实践保持一致。
自定义项目角色(项目级RBAC)
自定义项目角色是企业级功能,允许管理员在项目层级定义具有细粒度权限的自定义角色。角色通过设置中的专属"项目角色"板块进行创建和管理,权限将在项目内部生效,而非仅依赖宽泛的实例级角色。
运作机制
管理员通过项目级权限模型选择权限来定义自定义角色。当前权限覆盖范围包括:
- 项目
- 文件夹
- 工作流
- 凭证
- 数据表
- 变量
- 版本控制
功能导览
用户配置(身份提供商驱动的角色同步)
用户配置功能通过将身份提供商中的用户和角色同步至n8n实例级与项目级,实现访问管理的自动化。
您可以将n8n配置为通过单独用户或身份提供商群组进行配置,并依据现有IAM设置自动分配对应的项目与角色。
该功能支持:
- 在n8n中定义的系统角色与自定义角色
- 基于身份提供商群组成员关系的项目级角色分配
- 当用户在身份提供商中入职、转岗或离职时的自动更新
由此,访问管理能力将随着组织发展而灵活扩展:
- 入职与角色分配遵循既定的IAM流程
- 身份提供商中的成员变更将自动同步至n8n
- 访问控制在各团队与项目间保持一致性、可审计性与可重复性
您可通过我们的文档页面深入了解单点登录与用户配置功能。
结语
自定义项目角色与用户配置为n8n的访问管理提供了可扩展的基础架构。通过将自定义项目角色与身份提供商驱动的角色分配相结合,这些功能增强了治理能力,降低了风险,并显著减少了在大型多团队环境中持续管理访问权限的运营成本。

Projects sit at the heart of how n8n scales inside larger organizations. They are the unit that allows a single n8n instance to be shared safely across teams, business units, and environments, without turning automation into a free-for-all.
Each Project acts as an isolated workspace with its own workflows, credentials, data, variables, and execution history. This isolation is what makes it possible to run n8n as a central platform rather than spinning up separate instances for every team. It also creates the foundation for ownership, accountability, and governance as usage grows.
At enterprise scale, the challenge is no longer whether automation works, but how it is controlled. Without strong project-level access controls, organizations quickly run into familiar problems:
- overly broad permissions,
- shared credentials that are hard to audit,
- manual role changes that drift over time,
- blurred lines between who can build, review, and deploy workflows.
Custom Project Roles and User provisioning address these issues together by formalizing both sides of access control. - Custom Project Roles allow admins to create truly custom roles that are assigned at the project level. They enable organizations to model real operational roles, such as workflow builders, reviewers, operators, or platform admins, and apply least-privilege access across workflows, credentials, folders, and source control. When combined with environments, these roles help teams build and iterate safely without risking changes in production.
- User provisioning via SSO syncs users permissions between the identity provider and n8n. It ensures that n8n permissions follow the same lifecycle as the rest of the organization. When someone joins, changes roles, or leaves, their permissions are updated automatically, removing the need for manual access management.
Together, these capabilities turn Projects into a governed organisational layer inside n8n. They allow enterprises to scale automation across many teams while keeping access predictable, auditable, and aligned with existing identity and security practices.
Custom Project Roles (project-scoped RBAC)
Custom Project Roles is an enterprise feature that allows admins to define custom roles at the project level, with granular permissions. Roles are created and managed from a dedicated Project Roles section in settings. Permissions are then applied within projects rather than relying only on broad, instance-wide roles.
How it works
Admins define custom roles by selecting permissions within a project-scoped model. The current permission surface includes: - Projects
- Folders
- Workflows
- Credentials
- Data tables
- Variables
- Source control
Feature walkthrough
User provisioning (IDP-driven role sync)
User provisioning automates access management by syncing users and roles from your identity provider (IdP) into n8n at both the instance and project level.
You can configure n8n to provision users individually or via IdP groups, and automatically assign them to the appropriate project(s) and role(s) as part of your existing IAM setup.
This includes support for: - System roles and custom roles you define in n8n
- Project-scoped role assignment driven by IdP group membership
- Automatic updates when users join, change roles, or leave groups in the IdP
As a result, access management scales cleanly as your organization grows: - Onboarding and role assignment follow established IAM processes
- Changes in IdP membership are reflected automatically in n8n
- Access control becomes consistent, auditable, and repeatable across teams and projects
You can learn more about SSO and user provisioning in our documentation page.
Closing
Custom Project Roles and User provisioning provide a scalable foundation for access management in n8n. By combining custom project roles with identity-provider-driven role assignment, they improve governance, reduce risk, and significantly lower the ongoing operational cost of managing access in large, multi-team environments.
