Warning**:**

This custom action presents a potential security issue. Because it runs as SHAREPOINT\system, it can copy files/items to any site in the farm. A user with access to create SPD workflows on any site can set up this activity to copy to sites they do not have access to. If you do not want this behavior, we suggest removing this activity from the VirtoWorkflow.ACTIONS file, located in [SPHive]\TEMPLATE\1033\Workflow\ folder.
