SP (SharePoint)

From Nintex K2 Cloud Update 21 onwards there are two different apps for SharePoint Online. The legacy Nintex K2 Cloud for SharePoint app: used for SharePoint upgraded tenants, and the Nintex K2 Cloud (SPFx) app: used for new tenants.

Group Providers enable the product to reference SharePoint Groups and user information from a SharePoint Site Collection. When installing K2 for SharePoint, a Group Provider is automatically registered for the Site Collection(s) and App Catalog where the K2 for SharePoint App is deployed to. If required, you can manually register Group Providers for other sites by adding a Group Provider on this screen.

Deleting or editing Group Providers might break services or applications that rely on those items. Do not delete or edit these items unless you understand the impact of doing so.
