# Phase 5 Plan 3: Member Management API and Commands Summary

**Complete member management suite with list_project_members, add_project_member, remove_project_member API methods and member list/add/remove CLI commands with role support**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 14 min
- **Started:** 2026-01-05T18:57:22Z
- **Completed:** 2026-01-05T19:11:39Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 6

## Accomplishments

- list_project_members() extracting from project.relations.projectRelations
- add_project_member() and remove_project_member() with retry logic
- member list command showing project members with email and role
- member add command with --role flag (editor/admin, default: editor)
- member remove command for removing members from projects
- Email to user ID resolution for seamless UX
- Project name to ID resolution throughout
- Comprehensive test suite with 19 new test methods (8 API + 11 CLI)
- TDD workflow with atomic commits for API methods
- **Phase 5 complete**: Full project, user, and member management suite operational

## Files Created/Modified

- `src/n8n_cli/client/resources/projects.py` - Added list_project_members, add_project_member, remove_project_member methods
- `src/n8n_cli/client/models/project.py` - Added relations field for member data
- `src/n8n_cli/commands/member.py` - Created member list, add, remove commands
- `src/n8n_cli/cli.py` - Registered member_app command group
- `tests/test_projects_resource.py` - Added TestProjectMembers class with 8 tests
- `tests/commands/test_member.py` - Created comprehensive test suite with 11 tests

## Decisions Made

- **Default role for member add:** `project:editor` - Aligns with n8n's least-privilege principle, admin must be explicitly requested
- **No confirmation for member removal:** Unlike user deletion, members can be easily re-added, so no confirmation prompt
- **Extract members from project relations:** n8n API returns members as part of project.relations.projectRelations, not separate endpoint
- **Helpful error for missing user:** When adding member with unknown email, suggest "Invite user first with: n8n user invite {email}" for better UX

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written with TDD workflow for Task 1.

## Issues Encountered

None - all tests passed, quality gates passed, TDD workflow executed smoothly.

## Next Phase Readiness

**Phase 5 complete!** Ready for **Phase 6: Developer Experience**.

**Phase 5 deliverables:**
- ✅ ProjectsResource with all methods (list, get, find_by_name, list_project_members, add_project_member, remove_project_member)
- ✅ UsersResource with all methods (list, invite, delete, find_by_email)
- ✅ project list and project view commands
- ✅ user list, user invite, user remove commands
- ✅ member list, member add, member remove commands
- ✅ Role support (project:editor, project:admin)
- ✅ Name/email resolution for intuitive CLI UX
- ✅ All commands follow established patterns (Typer, error handling, verbosity)
- ✅ Comprehensive test coverage (233 tests total, 19 new in this plan)
- ✅ All quality gates passing (pytest, mypy, ruff)

**Next up:**
Phase 6 will enhance developer experience with shell completion, progressive verbosity, and utility functions.
