The Standard Entities node by UnifyApps is designed to streamline user management, role assignments, metadata aggregation, and detailed auditing across applications.
Overview
The Standard Entities node by UnifyApps is designed to streamline user management, role assignments, metadata aggregation, and detailed auditing across applications. It empowers teams to efficiently manage users, roles, entities, and automations while maintaining comprehensive access to application-level data and configurations. This node is ideal for administrators and developers handling multi-layered applications and workflows.
Use Cases
Team Collaboration Management — A project administrator uses "Add User Teams" to assign team memberships to users across applications, ensuring users gain access to resources and permissions tailored to their roles.
Metadata Exploration for Reporting — Developers leverage "Aggregate Datasource Metadata" to explore and validate metadata of datasources within application pages, facilitating accurate reporting and integration.
User Audit Compliance — For compliance audits, administrators use "Get User Audit" to review changes made by users, such as role assignments or application configurations.

Notes
Keep the following in mind when using Standard Entities by UnifyApps:
Standard Entities manages platform-level objects (users, roles, connections); use it for administrative tasks, not for business-domain data, which belongs in application entities.
Apply entity-type filters before querying; querying without filters returns all records and may time out in large workspaces.
Role assignment changes take effect immediately; test role changes in a staging workspace before applying them to production.
Check the FAQs section for entity-type-specific requirements, such as which fields are required when creating a new user or assigning a role.
Combine Standard Entities actions with conditional branches to handle edge cases like users who already have the target role or connections that are already in the desired state.
