Workflows
Basics
--new [--wftype]
This allows you to create a new workflow.
The command must be executed in an empty directory.
You can specify --wftype=<workflow-template>
with
- "statemachine"
- "list"
- "site" (default is "statemachine")
Example:
--new --wftype=statemachine

).

. This is either in the current directory or is specified via --workflow=<full-path>
.
--setusername
--setpassword

SharePoint Permissionsets
In the workflow configuration file, you can specify four permission sets that can be quickly and easily assigned to a user using the Add-KFPermission
, Remove-KFPermission
, and Update-KFPermission
cmdlets.
We have compiled 4 meaningful SharePoint authorization levels that are often used. These follow the well-known CRUD model (Create, Read, Update, Delete). We have added "M" for "Manage" and "A" for "Approve".
Users or groups that have the corresponding permission set can perform very special tasks.
For example, anyone assigned "Create" may create elements, but not automatically read them. Accordingly, a user with "Read" authorization level may not automatically create elements.
You can specify names for the 4 authorization levels in the workflow configuration file.
With the program command --createpermissionsets
these authorization levels are created in SharePoint and equipped with rights ("Base Permissions") according to our specifications.
Here is an overview of how the authorization levels are defined:
