+1 That is exactly the way to do it. You can then add extra validation etc... you need a delegate control on the UserDisp.aspx to override the default screen to redirect to your screen.

In the past we managed to work around that by overriding the control that renders the user profile edit in the edit page. Our control still did everything the built-in control did, but would also add a piece of code when the user has clicked save. that piece of code could either trigger a windows workflow, or do some actions directly. However, if you are looking for an approval workflow you are out of luck unless you develop something very sophisticated - as our control as described only acts AFTER the chages were made to the user profile database, which is not what an approval workflow is there to do.

These would be changes made through SharePoint (though it would be cool if I could run the workflow on a profile change that was imported - looking at the last modified date in LDAP might something I can use? ). I have Nintex workflow 2010 and SharePoint 2010 enterprise. I know there is a hidden list of users, but SharePoint 2010 doesn't offer me any way to add a workflow (in fact - I get no ribbon at all - can't even change the view). Suggestions? :) Max _______________________________________________ ozmoss mailing list ozmoss@ozmoss.com<mailto:ozmoss@ozmoss.com> http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozmoss ________________________________ NOTICE - This communication is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
