SP (SharePoint)

Group Providers enable K2 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.

Follow these steps to add a new Group Provider

  1. Click Add.
  2. The Add Group Provider page opens.

    FieldDescription
    Provider NameThe name of the SharePoint Group Provider. Normally this is created by the K2 installer, but can be manually created as mentioned above.
    Site URLThe URL of the site on which the SharePoint Group Provider is registered. This should always be the root URL for the Site Collection.
    Registering a Group Provider on a SharePoint subsite is not recommended, as this will have a negative performance impact.
