When using the create sharepoint subsite step in K2 Workflow, there is no setting for inheriting permissions. I would like to choose "No" for inheriting permissions from the parent and have the OOTB permissions groups (using the site name) created automatically. Is there a way to do this?

Hello,

There is no option to stop the inheritance of permissions from the root site via the create subsite wizard. There is however a wizard that will break inherited permissions on a specified site/subsite. See below documentation:

http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2appit/userguide/1.5_update6/default.htm#thin_client_wizards/sites_wizards/stop_inherit_site_perm/stop_inherit_site_perm.htm

You could then have this wizard run after the create subsite wizard completes.

Additionally to create the groups via the workflow we can implement the "Create Group" Wizard. See below:

http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2appit/userguide/1.5_update6/default.htm#thin_client_wizards/groups_wizards/create_group/create_group.htm

Finally you can then add users to the group via the Add User to Group Wizard:

HTH!
