Create SharePoint Group Widget

The Create SharePoint Group widget creates a SharePoint group for any site in any site collection in the current Web application.

NOTE: Creating a SharePoint group requires the Create Groups site permission in SharePoint. If it is possible that the workflow initiator will not have this permission, use the Run As property to run the widget as another user with the required permission.

Widget Properties:
