I want to set the item permissions for submitted requests based on the site that submitted the request. Each site has a SharePoint group with a name formatted ""site code] Members" where site code] is the 3 character site code for each site and is an item property. I created a workflow which sets a text variable to " Site Code] Members", then sets item permission using that variable as the user. When I run the workflow it says that the user is not found, even though it reads exactly right. Is it possible to achieve this goal?
For a more specific example, I type "TUA Members" into the "Users" field in my workflow and it resolves the group name immediately. When I leave it as the variable and run the workflow, the workflow output is "No user has been found with specified username "TUA Members".
Is there a way to dynamically define a SharePoint group name like this?
