mittwald

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to retrieve information about a specific SFTP user. It is designed to fetch details of an SFTP user by their unique identifier. This functionality is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically access or verify SFTP user data within automated workflows, such as managing user accounts, auditing access, or integrating with other systems that require SFTP user information.

For example, you might use this node to:

• Retrieve and display details of an SFTP user before performing file operations.
• Automate user management tasks by fetching user info and updating related records.
• Integrate SFTP user data into reporting or monitoring dashboards.

Properties
