When attempting to launch the 'K2 Application' in a list/library, the following error appears:

Symptoms

Launching the K2 application in other sites works for the same user.

From internal logging, an error indicates that a group could not be found.

Looking at the hidden 'K2 Settings' list that exists on all sites where K2 Appit is activated to, it was determined that there was an invalid group ID in the 'Solution_Designers' and 'Solution_Participants' list item.

The hidden 'K2 Settings' list can be viewed by appending 'Lists/K2 Settings' to the end of the site URL.  i.e.

https://portal.denallix.com/sites/HR/Lists/K2 Settings

To determine if the group is valid or not, one can pass the group ID into the SharePoint people.aspx page. i.e.

https://portal.denallix.com/sites/HR/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=1000

An invalid group ID will return the following page:
