If you want to restrict access to one or more groups, you can use the built in Roles functionality. Ref. Ch 6. Professional Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Workflow Programming by Khosravi.
1) For each task, set the Roles property to a unique field.
2) In Workflow Activated set which group can execute a task:
WorkflowRole burnPermitApproversWorkflowRole = SPWorkflowWorkflowRoleCreator.GetWorkflowRoleForGroups(
site, Config.GetAppSetting("BurnPermitApproversGroupName"));
// Add role to the event's roles collection to allow users with this role to
// execute the onTaskChanged_InitialReview event
onTaskChanged_InitialReview_Roles.Add(burnPermitApproversWorkflowRole);

This is a nice post but it doesn't work for groups. It is possible to add a group name to the dictionary but doing so doesn't assign rights to the group. Does anyone know of a way to do this for a group?

Hi Chris,

This is a nice post. I must appreciate it. I also faced this problem and figured out a solution which is little diff from this. I would like to share it.

I used SharePoint Designer to acheieve this task. Over there i downloaded an activity known as Grant permission (Which assign permissions to any user). Then i gave all the users of that task list just one single read permission and created a small workflow that whenever any item is created, grant permission activity will give contribute permission to "Assigned To" person. In this way, a person who has been assigned a task can only have Contribute permission.

Regards
Ginni

@Anonymous,

Could it be that the property is already bound to something? Suggest checking by doing a search in the code..

I've got a new Sharepoint dev box I'm working on, and I noticed that I no longer have the little blue link for "Bind Selected Property" under the Properties window. Does anyone know how I can get it to show up again. I can't set the SpecialPermissions property without it. Thanks.

Giabba,

It's been a while since I've thought about this, but I'm pretty sure there is some protection from this scenario somewhere. Could be because the task is a list item which requires check-in/check-out. Failing that, it could be that the workflow task screens provide conflict resolution (e.g. messages such as 'Task has been modifed, do you want to overwrite or discard your changes?' etc.).

Suggest doing some testing to find out for sure.

HTH,

Chris.

The example is great and works but how can i be sure that only one user edit the task ? I haven't found a lock/unlock mechanism in SP Task handling used in workflow.

Thanks again.

Hi Brad,

Hmm, interesting - but can you not simply add the group to the dictionary with SPRoleType.Contributor access instead of an individual?

Cheers,

Chris.

This works very well with individuals. However when assigning an item to a group, if someone claims the task and then tries to edit the task it causes an error in workflow. Presumably because the individual's name is not included with contribute access. Any ideas on getting around this. I'd like to get rid of the Claim Task function but don't know how.

2008-04-12T15:24:00.000+01:00

Hi,

I think what you should seek to do is not to give the contributor permission set to the user, but apply individual permission instead. This will give you the flexibility to give 'edit item' but not 'delete item' permissions. You could probably create a custom role to do this, since this would group together the set of permissions you wish to apply.

You'd have to do some research on exactly how to write the code, but I think that's the approach you could take.

HTH,

Chris.

2008-04-10T14:46:00.000+01:00

Hi Chis, like your example.
But now I have the requirement that the user I'd like to add as Contributer should not be able to delete the task assigned to him. Therefore I need to add some other permissionset which does not allow the user to delete the item. Any suggestions how I could manage that? THX and best regards.

2008-01-22T14:39:00.000Z

Nice post, Chris. I've had this exact question come up a number of times from clients, and while item-level permissions is the logical answer, I wasn't aware how straightforward it was to accomplish within the workflow. Thanks for the example!
