## Use built-in modules in Function-Nodes
## Use built-in and external modules in Function-Nodes
By default is it for security reasons not allowed to import modules in Function-Nodes.
It is, however, possible to lift that restriction for built-in modules by setting the
environment variable `NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_BUILTIN`.
For security reasons, importing modules is restricted by default in Function-Nodes.
It is, however, possible to lift that restriction for built-in and external modules by
setting the following environment variables:
`NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_BUILTIN`: For builtin modules
`NODE_FUNCTION_ALLOW_EXTERNAL`: For external modules sourced from n8n/node_modules directory. External module support is disabled when env variable is not set.
