Symptom
You are facing the error message below when trying to change the API Visibility parameter for a standard entity under Configure Object Definitions:
"You are not allowed to change the value of attribute API Visibility for this object <entity>."
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Configure Object Definitions;
- Choose the entity;
- Click on Make Action > Make Correction;
- API Visibility to Editable;
- Save;
Resolution
This is expected behavior and reflects how the entity was intentionally designed not to be exposed.
However, if you wish to share an enhancement idea, we highly encourage you to do so on the SAP Influence website. Our product managers review these ideas, and the most popular ones are considered for implementation in future releases (instructions in the KBA 2090228).
