Today I polished my solution after a couple of months of development. After all the design changes and new requests I wanted to reorganize my solution. One of my tasks was to reorganize all the namespaces for the web parts. When each web part in the solution is developed by a different person sometimes namespaces are different as well. I started to change namespaces for all the web parts when I found out that my changes do not appear in the package manifest file. The safe controls list in the manifest file hadn’t change.

Theoretically it can be changed manually but the maintaining of the manually manifest is too hard.

So after a couple of experiments I figured it out.

SPD Workflow – the e-mail message cannot be sent

Posted by Sveta Yerpilev on June 16th, 2011 in SharePoint 2007, SharePoint Designer 2007

Today I met a very strange issue. In company portal every time that user tried to run workflow that just send an e-mail to SharePoint group the workflow had been stopped immediately with status “Stopped” and error message:

 

The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.

 

But in the strange way all users that was set as Site Collection Administrators run this workflow without any problem. Strange, the issue is definitely not in the outgoing e-mail settings…

After I tried to give end users every possible permission level (even Full Control) without any luck I finally checked the settings of the SharePoint group that I’m trying to send e-mail to. I saw that the “Who can view the membership of this group” is set to “Group Members”. That’s It! In this case any other user can’t see who is the member of the group so he can’t send they an e-mail. And because the workflow always run with the end user permissions the e-mail cannot be sent via workflow.

So after I changed the configuration and checked the “Everyone” option for “Who can view the membership of this group” my issue is gone.
