SharePoint Permission's group as a Usertable


Badge +2

Is it possible to set up a sharepoint permissions group as a usertable in a sharepoint list, so that only member of that specific group can view items entered by other people in that specific sharepoint permissions group? (hopefully that made sense)

I was thinking of somehow building a nintex workflow to query the list based on a defined field, and somehow query the sharepoint user group to associate the two.

example.

SharePoint User permission Group 1 = "Toronto Employees"

Members - Tom, John, Steve

SharePoint User permission Group  2 = "New York Employees"

Members - Chris, Bob, Rick

One of the questions on the firm/list would be, Which city are you from? (possible answers would be Toronto, or New York).  at that point, once a form has been submitted, I would only want Toronto Employees to see what other Toronto Employees have answered, and New York Employees, to see what other new York employees have answered.

thanks!!!

have you looked at set item permissions action?

you could use this in conjunction with a "set a condition" action where you could say was city = Toronto?

- if yes, set item permissions Toronto employees

- if no, set item permissions New York employees?

Hi,

You can just create a single line of text workflow variable and set it to the display name of the group, then you can use that in the Set item permissions action.
