SharePoint Permission Workflow

SharePoint Permission Boost is an excellent SharePoint workflow template that is specifically designed for use in WSS SharePoint2007 / MOSS. This amazing tool provides some additional features based on and beyond the default SharePoint permission mechanism to SharePoint list.

One of the unique features of SharePoint Permission Boost includes the ability to automatically assign permissions to all SharePoint list items by workflow. This is particularly useful where the list item permission setting does not inherit from parent list permission setting. Normally, when a SharePoint user needs to set permissions to all items on this list, they would have to manually set each item's permission. However, with the SharePoint Permission Workflow, the system can automatically assign permissions to items when an item is created or modified.

The SharePoint Permission Workflow not only assigns permissions to users or groups but also to "user/group field column" and columns that represent users or groups, such as "Created By," "Modified By," etc. Inner columns and other user/group columns like "Manager" can also benefit from the Permission Boost workflow.

With the SharePoint Permission Boost workflow running in the background, some permissions will be automatically assigned to "user/group field column" when an item is created or modified. This can be particularly useful in a task list where SharePoint users want the "assignee" of this list to have read permission to tasks. Each task item corresponds to a distinct assignee, and it can be difficult for SharePoint users to set read permission manually to each item when the assignee is appointed or changed. However, with SharePoint Permission Workflow, users just need to give read permission to column "Assignee" once, and the system will automate the rest.

Overall, I would highly recommend SharePoint Permission Boost for anyone looking to streamline their SharePoint workflow and automate the previously time-consuming task of setting permissions manually. With its excellent features, SharePoint Permission Boost is undoubtedly one of the best SharePoint workflow templates to consider.
