Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Cause

The URL in the panels is configured in the localization resource file. If the URL provided in the file is not correct then error message will be thrown.

For the particular error message in the symptom section: The employee portal URL was pointing to another account. The new hire is not part of that other account. So access denied error message is thrown.

Resolution

Refer to KBA 2273586 - How to update message in the panel through localization file:

  1. Go to Super admin site and export the localization file.
    • If you do not have access to Super admin site, reach out to Cloud Product Support team through a ticket for further assistance.
  2. Verify the URL of the portal. Make necessary changes to the localization file and import it back into super admin site.
