2303419 - RBP Permission for MDF Composite Child Object does not respect Target Population for Field Level Overrides

• RBP Permission for MDF Composite Child Object does not respect Target Population for Field Level Overrides.
• Child object is not available in Define Target Criteria of a Permission Role.

SAP SuccessFactors HCM

MDF object has composite child objects.

1st Scenario: 

1. RBP role is configured to restrict child object access to some fields, via Field Level Overrides
   For example:
   Permission Role "A" is set with "Read Only" access to Child Object fields "1" and "2" for Target group "A"
   Permission Role "B" is set with "Read Only" access to Child Object fields "3" and "4" for Target group "B"
2. However, when the user is viewing the record, he is still able to edit all the fields in the child record, regardless of Field Level Overrides configuration.

2nd Scenario:

1. Child object is Secured and RBP Subject User Field is empty
2. However, child object is not available when attempting to define target criteria in a Permission Role.

Currently, there are no target criteria or target group support for composite child permissions. The child objects inherit RBP permissions from the parent object.

Therefore, you cannot specify different Field Level Overrides patterns according to the content of the composite child object for different fields and different target groups.

The possible workaround is to define Field Level Overrides for the same fields in all Permission Roles. In this scenario, permissions configuration will be respected.

Other possible solution is to define Field Level Overrides configuration in Parent Object, restricting the whole Child Object instead.
