Resolution
1.) Make sure that the group providers exist in workspace. - Open workspace and navigate to "Management" --"Management Console" - Expand: "User Managers" -- "SP" --- "Group Providers". - In there you should see the group provider in question.
2.) Next, we need to make sure that it is valid, by navigating to the URL.
3.) And finally, if the group provider is valid, make sure that the K2Service Account has site collection Administrator permissions on the site collection.
