FAQ
What is In Product Support?
- In Product Support delivers case management and support resources directly into the product via a ‘Support’ tab within Admin Tools.
What versions of BizX does In-Product Support work for?
- In Product Support is available for v11 Ultra and v12 Revolution.
Where will the feature be located and for which products?
- Assuming the user has access to Admin Tools, In Product Support can be accessed on all pages within the SuccessFactors HCM Suite application.
Who in my company will see the 'Support' tab?
- In Product Support will be available to all users who have any administrative privileges in the SuccessFactors HCM Suite product. Within In Product Support, users will have various levels of permission for activities, based upon their SAP Support Portal credentials.
For more information on SAP Support Portal user permissions, please visit the SAP Support Portal User Guide for SuccessFactors Admins.
How does the authentication process work?
- To see the In Product Support tab, a user must have administrative privileges in the SuccessFactors HCM Suite - that is, they must have access to Admin Tools. Then, to access any Support Portal features, the user will be requested to log into the SAP Support Portal Launchpad. The Support Portal authorizations (managed by your Cloud Admin via the SAP Support Portal) will dictate which features and functionality you have access to in the In Product Support tab. ***Please note: Support users should log in to In Product Support using their Support Portal credentials, NOT their SuccessFactors product credentials.

**Cloud Users and end-users will not have visibility or access to their company’s support cases. Cloud Users will have varying levels of access to Support Portal and Admin Tools access, based on their company's preferences.
Can I restrict who can see and use the feature?
- The 'Support' tab will be visible to users who have access to Admin Tools and permissions will be assigned based on the description as explained above.
- Although it cannot be disabled at an individual user level, In Product Support can be disabled for an entire company via a switch in Provisioning.
If we use a shared login for admin activities will this affect In Product Support?
- Users accessing In Product Support will be asked to log in to access Support features. Each user should have their own login ID and password.
Can my company's end users access In Product Support?
- No. Because the 'Support' tab is shown to only users with access to Admin Tools, end users will not be able to access In Product Support.
What is the difference between the SAP Support Portal (support.sap.com) and In Product Support?
- In Product Support brings the functionality of the knowledge base and SAP Launchpad into the product. In general, the standalone SAP Support Portal is used for managing and toggling through a large volume of cases.
How do I report an issue with In Product Support?
- If you encounter an issue while using In Product Support, please report a support case in the SAP Support Portal (support.sap.com) and our team will review and troubleshoot the issue. Please include screenshots, the impacted user, and any other details like your browser within your case.
Can I activate In Product Support within my QA/Test CompanyID only?
- No. In Product Support will be enabled for all Company IDs.
Can I opt-out of In Product Support?
- Yes. To opt-out of In Product Support, a switch must be enabled in Provisioning. Please reach out to your Implementation Partner if you wish to disable this feature. If you do not have an Implementation Partner, then please contact Customer Success and request that In Product Support be disabled in Provisioning.
