Stop Inheriting Site Permissions

This content applies to legacy design tools (such as K2 Studio, K2 for Visual Studio, or the Silverlight-based K2 workflow design tool). If you have upgraded from K2 blackpearl 4.7 to K2 Five, these tools may still be available in your environment. These legacy tools may not be available in new installations of K2 Five. These legacy tools may also not be available, supported, or behave as described, in future updates or versions of K2. Please see the legacy component support policy for more information about support for these components.

This wizard is found on the SharePoint 2013 - Site Events node.

What does it do?

The Stop Inheriting Site Permissions wizard allows you to remove the parent site-inherited permissions from a subsite.

How is it used?

Subsites created in a SharePoint site collection are typically configured to inherit the parent site permissions. For some subsites you might want to assign unique permissions for users and groups. To do this you have to stop inheriting the parent site permission set first.

Specify the subsite you want to use.

Field Description Sample Value
Use a subsite that is referenced in this workflow

Use this option if a reference was created earlier in this workflow.

Select the reference from the drop down list.
Browse to subsite If no reference is available, browse to the item on a registered SharePoint Site Collection. The Site Collection field is populated with the default Site Collection.

Choose a site collection from the available site collections that have the K2 for SharePoint app registered. If there is only one it is auto-selected.

This step will only be available when the Browse to site option was selected on the previous page. Specify values for fields to identify the subsite for which you want to stop the inherited permissions.

Field Description Sample Value
Filter Fields

Apply a filter by specifying values in one or more fields to identify the required item.

Select the check box in front of the field to enable the filter. Type the value of the field, or drag a value from the Context Browser such as a pre-configured Data Field, Item Reference or a SmartObject Load method. Note that when a SmartObject Load method is used, an input property is required for the correct data to load.
