Hello,

I need to manage (list, view, add, edit, delete) any and all Task Delegation.

 

I already activated the option to allow a site admin to add a delegation in the name of another user (and it work)

 

But now I need to be able to edit or remove some.

 

/NintexWorkflow/DelegationEdit.aspx?delegationID=1234

Works well for editing my own delegations but I cannot edit a delegation of another user. (error)

 

I can view em if I use

/NintexWorkflow/UserPreferences.aspx?username=SomeUserName

But even there, if I click the link, I get an error page with the message : ApplicationPages_DelegationEdit_CannotFindDelegation

 

I am aware of the DataBase/Table TNintexWorkflowDB].odbo].[Delegation] but I do not want to write or edit it manually. (still useful to read a full list tho)

 

Any native solution I missed ?

 

(by the way : Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2019 - version: 5.1.2.0)

@Jake Could you perhaps assist here?

Were you able to find a solution? I think I'm facing the same problem.

Hello Jasmin,



 



I found an imperfect but working solution :



There is no user interface in Nintex to delete a delegation BUT there is a web service that is capable of doing it as documented here :



https://community.nintex.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Unable-to-Delete-Long-Term-Delegation/ta-p/86831



 



So I created a Site Workflow with :



One variable that must appear on the start form "ID_Delegation"



A single action : Call a web service : /_vti_bin/NintexWorkflow/Workflow.asmx



Method to be called : "DeleteLongTermDelegationRule"



That method require one input : id (int) -> I put my variable "ID_Delegation"



 



Then, go to http://SITE/_layouts/15/workflow.aspx?ShowAll=1



Start that site WF but you have to input the ID of the delegation to delete



 



HOW TO GET THE ID ?



2 methods :



 



1) You have access to MS SQL Server management Studio, connect to you server SQL,



Database : NintexWorkflowDB



Table : [Delegation]



request should look like that :



SELECT * FROM [NintexWorkflowDB].[dbo].[Delegation]



Check the column [DelegationID]



 



2) no sql, 100% Sharepoint/Nintex :



Go to :



http://SITE/_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/UserPreferences.aspx?username=ACTIVEDIRECTORYDOMAIN%5USERLOGINNAME



 



Check the url of the links shown on the right :



http://SITE/_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/DelegationEdit.aspx?delegationID=27



you cannot click the link but you have the ID to input in the delete workflow



 



Then, up to you to recreate a delegation with different users or dates.



http://SITE/_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/DelegationAdd.aspx



 



Bonus information :



Site administrators can set up long term delegation for other users if the Global Setting “Site administrators long term delegation” is enabled.



http://CENTRALADMINISTRATION/_admin/NintexWorkflow/TaskSettings.aspx



 



I hope this will help you and others ...
