Introducing Office 365 update item permissions custom permissions:

What’s new

This workflow action has been upgraded to support the ability to use custom SharePoint permissions when setting list item permissions.

What's all the big hype about:

Since the beginning of times, Nintex for SharePoint on premises, has always had a connector for Set item permission. However, when we launched Nintex for SharePoint O365, the Office 365 update item permissions action was limited to support default permission levels only. Many customers and partners took to the https://nintex.uservoice.com to provide their feedback and demand for more from this action: https://nintex.uservoice.com/forums/218291/suggestions/7050455

Now introducing the ability to use custom SharePoint permissions :)

When would I use the Office 365 Update Item Permissions:

Whether you are looking to implement user permissions sox controls or even governance for user access integrity, this action can help serve as a way to achieve this component of Process Excellence.

For example, suppose I am a Chief Financial Officer and getting ready to roll out a new global process for Corporate Charity Giving, and want to allow employees to have contribute access, however once a request is submitted users access should be changed to read only. How would I accomplish this? Well, you are in luck, this step by step scenario will help walk you through it.
