SharePoint Function Service
Function type Groups: reads group information from SharePoint such as Get Users in Group or Groups, with and without K2 labels.
Function type Metadata: used to read and load List column or Document column values.
This service is normally only used internally by K2.
| Option | What to do |
|---|---|
| FunctionType | Enter a description of the SharePoint Function. |
| Connection String | Enter the SharePoint Connection String that will perform the function. |
| Security Provider | Enter the Security Provider - e.g. SourceCode.Hosting.SecurityProviders.SmartBox. |

| Password | Enter the associated password - e.g. K2pass. |
| Extra | Provides additional information, for example dll paths needed. (Optional) |
| Impersonate | Select this check box to enable impersonation rights. The impersonate option allows the K2HostServer service account to impersonate the user. |
| Enforce Impersonation | This is a Pass-through Authentication option. If Enforce Impersonation is NOT checked, and K2 Pass-through Authentication fails for the impersonated user, the service will revert to the K2 Service Account, and retry. In Enforce Impersonation IS checked, the service will not revert to the K2 Service Account if it fails with the impersonated user. |
When configuring the rights the following applies:
- If the User Name and password is configured and the Impersonate checkbox is selected (set to True) the service will ignore the User Name and password and use Impersonate.
- If the User Name and password is configured and the Impersonate checkbox is not selected (set to False) the service will use SQL Authentication.
- If the User Name and password is not configured and the Impersonate checkbox is not selected (set to False) the service will use the K2 Service Account.
- If only the User Name and password is configured the service will use SQL Authentication.
