About n8n
A workflow automation platform that lets you build, run and monitor automated processes across apps and services. People use it to connect systems, automate repetitive tasks and move data between apps in multi-step workflows. It offers a visual editor to design flows and a runtime to execute them.
What Cakewalk Does With n8n
Secure access to n8n across your stack, with least privilege by default. Cakewalk syncs everyone with access to n8n and what each person can do, discovers the service accounts and agents connected to it, then grants and removes that access automatically. n8n also connects as an agent platform and accesses every connected app through one gateway, scoped to each person.
Integration Capabilities
Cakewalk continuously reads who has access in n8n and at what level, then reconciles it against your directory of record. Out-of-band and orphaned access is surfaced for review.
Cakewalk provisions and removes n8n access automatically. When someone joins, changes roles or leaves, their access is granted, adjusted or revoked without a ticket.
n8n connects to Cakewalk through a single gateway address. From there it accesses the company's connected apps, with each request scoped to the person using it and checked against policy.
Cakewalk discovers the non-human identities tied to n8n, the service accounts, API keys and AI agents that operate as shadow IT and shadow agents when they go ungoverned. Each one is surfaced and brought under the same access policy and audit log as the people on your team.
Use Cases
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| A Live Picture of Who Has Access Access Sync | Cakewalk continuously reads who has access in n8n and at what level, so the list is current instead of a stale export. |
| Access That Slipped Through Access Sync | When access is granted in n8n outside of policy, the next sync surfaces it for review, so orphaned and out-of-band accounts do not pile up. |
| Day-One Access Without a Ticket Auto Provisioning | When a new hire starts, Cakewalk provisions their n8n access from policy on day one, with no ticket and no SCIM required. |
| Access That Follows the Person Auto Provisioning | When someone changes teams or leaves, their n8n access is updated or removed automatically, so it always matches their role. |
| One Security Layer for Every Agent Agent Platform | Connect n8n once and it joins the same governance layer as every agent platform your team runs, under one audit log and policies you tune by person, app and action. |
| Each Person Gets Their Own Access Agent Platform | When several people use n8n, each one's agent acts with that person's own permissions, never a shared account. The same agent gives each person only the access they already have. |
| See Every Non-Human Identity NHI Discovery | Cakewalk finds the service accounts, API keys and agents connected to n8n, so machine access is no longer invisible. |
| An Owner for Every Machine Identity NHI Discovery | Cakewalk ties each service account and agent in n8n to a human owner, so non-human access is accountable. |
