Register SharePoint Group Provider
A SharePoint Group Provider is automatically registered by the K2 installer on the site provided as per the installer. If another SharePoint Group Provider is to be registered to another site collection, this can be done by creating another process portal site and registering the Group Provider manually on the new site collection. SharePoint Groups can then be added to this site and used as destination users for example.
