Symptoms
After following the procedure from http://help.k2.com/kb001309, we have managed to restrict the access to K2 Designer but now we are facing the problem with "Select Picture" window within Picture control (check out the attachment: SelectPictureError.png). It seems that CSS and Javascript are missing.
Access to the K2 Designer Application Pool account (NISk2service) has been also granted (check out the attachment: AuthRules_DesignerIIS.png)
Diagnoses
This is a bug in older versions, see below
Resolution
I believe this is a bug in older versions of K2 but has since been fixed in 4.6.9

Please have a look at the following article:

Post render combining settings - Combined resource of CSS and script files after Form has been rendered, delivered as one file to the browser. This setting can be disabled by changing the value of the Forms.PostRenderCombining.Enabled tag to false for debugging purposes, but the rest of the settings should always stay as it is. This setting should be disabled when the "UseBundledFiles" setting is set to false.
You can also have a look at this Microsoft article:
http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/performance/bundling-and-minification
Bundling is a new feature in ASP.NET 4.5 that makes it easy to combine or bundle multiple files into a single file. You can create CSS, JavaScript and other bundles. Fewer files means fewer HTTP requests and that can improve first page load performance.
I believe since 1.0.6 they have switched to using ASP.NET 4.5 with SmartForms.
