Thanks Ishai, I will just give you my thoughts on this.
1.) It's custom activity to run inside SPD workflow
2.) I have tried using Elevated privleges and Impersonation but no luck,
and even tried to use them both. I also added this activity in
Impersonation step in SPD but it makes no difference.
3.) If I go to workflow and start it manually, then it does not give any
permission error.
4.) Only when I workflow starts automatically it does not do anything.
5.) You are right problem is in CreateTerm method, I attached a debugger,
and get permission error on "termSet.CreateTerm(projectName, 1033);"
Error message is you do not have enough permissions to do this task.
Code Below
protected override ActivityExecutionStatus Execute(ActivityExecutionContext
executionContext)
{
SPSite contextSite = __Context.Site;
string url = contextSite.Url;
SPWeb contextWeb = __Context.Web;
SPList contextList = contextWeb.Lists[new Guid(__ListId)];
SPListItem contextItem = contextList.GetItemById(__ListItem);
SPFieldUserValue userValue = new SPFieldUserValue(contextWeb,
contextItem["Created By"].ToString()); ;
string title = contextItem["Title"].ToString();
using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite(url))
{
using (SPWeb web = siteCollection.OpenWeb())
{
SPUserToken userToken =
web.AllUsers["Domain\\Admin_Account"].UserToken;
using (SPSite newSite = new
SPSite(contextWebUrl,userToken))
{
using (SPWeb myWeb = newSite.OpenWeb())
{
CreateTerm(siteCollection, title);
}
}
}
}
return ActivityExecutionStatus.Closed;
}
protected static void CreateTerm(SPSite siteCollectionObject, string
projectName)
{
TaxonomySession session = new
TaxonomySession(siteCollectionObject);
foreach (TermStore termStore in session.TermStores)
{
foreach (Group group in termStore.Groups)
{
if (group.Name == "Test group")
{
foreach (TermSet termSet in group.TermSets)
{
if (termSet.Name == "Projects")
{
bool doesThisTermExist = false;
TermCollection terms =
termSet.GetAllTerms();
foreach (Term term in terms)
{
if (term.Name == projectName)
{
doesThisTermExist = true;
}
}
if (!doesThisTermExist)
{
termSet.CreateTerm(projectName, 1033);
termStore.CommitAll();
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
