What Cymph uses it for

Cymph connects to n8n as a deployment target — playbooks authored in Cymph are translated to n8n workflows and pushed to the instance. See Deploy playbooks.

Requirements

To generate an n8n API key, follow the instructions here.

Permissions

API key scopes are an enterprise feature. On a non-enterprise instance, every API key has full access to all of the account’s resources — there is no way to narrow it. Treat the key as an administrative credential and store it accordingly.
On an enterprise instance, grant the key these scopes and nothing else: Cymph does not need workflow:update, workflow:delete, workflow:activate, or any credential scope. Deployed workflows are created, never modified or removed, and Cymph never reads your stored credentials.
Granting <resource>:read automatically grants the matching list scope, so there is no need to add workflow:list or execution:list explicitly.
