Creating a custom activity in workflow and using it in SharePoint Designer to implement Item level permissions in SharePoint 2007

Item level permissions can be implemented in sharepoint 2007 using either the SharePoint object model or the by using the out of the box features.

Programmatically providing item level security in sharepoint 2007 can be implemeted either by using event handlers which would mean that the event handlers need to be modified for every list or document library that it is associated with. Alternatively this can be overcome by creating activities in Windows workflow library and plugging it in SharePoint designer and thereby the workflow activity can be associated with any list at any time without modifying the dll.

To create such an activity which can be plugged in to SharePoint designer and which is used to provide item level security follow the walkthrough posted by me in the following link,
