Role-based access control (RBAC) for Telegram automations

🔐 n8n Workflow: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Telegram Automations This n8n workflow lets you control access to your internal Telegram bots and automation systems based on user roles and departments. It ensures that only authorized team members — defined in your employee database — can interact with specific parts of your workflow. Perfect for agencies, internal tools, or multi-team organizations where permissions differ across roles (e.g., Marketing, Sales, Administration).

📌 Section 1: Trigger & Input ⚡ Receive Message (Telegram Trigger) Purpose: Captures incoming messages from users interacting with your Telegram bot.

How it works: When a user sends any message to the bot, the workflow retrieves their Telegram username and triggers the process.

Benefit: Provides a secure and instant entry point for validating user identity before running any internal logic.

📌 Section 2: Role Lookup 📋 Employee Database (Data Table Node) Purpose: Fetches user details such as Position and Type from your internal employee table.

Structure Example:

UserName===Position===Type User1===Marketing===SEO User2===Administration===Manager User3===Marketing===Target

Benefit: Centralized employee management — you can update access levels (roles or departments) directly in the data table without editing the workflow.
