2264248 - Compare Nominee Option Does Not Respect RBP Permission - Succession Org Chart

Symptom

Successors outside of the planner's target population does not appear in the SOC; however when the planner is adding a successor, the "compare nominees" page actually shows those hidden successors.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Succession Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Succession Org chart
  2. Look for Talent Employee  – There are successors already nominated to this position but they do not appear because these people are outside the planner’s target population (which is expected)
  3. Click “Find Successors” for Talent Employee 5
  4. Add one user then click Go
  5. “Compare Nominees” section appears and show the other successors outside of the planner’s hierarchy

Cause

Expected behaviour

Resolution

  • RBP does only cover which users or positions you can see on the Succession Org Chart, and for whom you can nominate, but does not impose restrictions on who can be nominated.
  • It is not correct that Succession reporting permission (or any other permission) limits who a user can nominate as a successors.
  • All succession planners can nominate anyone for a job – the permissions only let you limit which incumbents or positions they can nominate successors for.
  • If someone is nominated who does not have the succession reporting permission, then they shouldn't be able to see things like their performance/potential placement, ratings, etc; however they will still be able to nominate them.
