How to authenticate user at runtime?

Hi all,

I am new to n8n but I it looks great! The examples I have seen from Nate thus far show how you create and n8n workflow (e.g. to manage calendar), but the user has to manually configure the workflow (at design time) to use their credentials. This works well if there is only one user, however if you are rolling out a solution across an organisation (e.g. 100 users) then this is a big probelm.

Does anyone know how you can create a generic workflow that allows users to connect their account (e.g. Google Workspace) at runtime and grant the necessary permissions for the workflow to run?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Spencer

P.S Big shout out to Nate for providing these great tutorials!!!
