Question

I noticed that Impersonation step missing in 2013 Workflow. Then how do we assign permissions for List items from workflow in 2013 workflows?

Context : SharePoint 2013 online and workflow 2013.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The app step in 2013 is the equivalent of impersonation in 2010 workflows. If you aren't seeing this option available in SharePoint Designer, make sure you have the
Workflows can use app permissions site feature enabled.

OTHER TIPS

It is still available for you the 2010 template. I believe it was made redundant due to the problems it caused.
