Environment

SAP Success Factors People Analytics

  • SuccessFactors Report Distributor

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login and go to Report Center > View Schedules
  2. Click on Switch to Report Distributor
  3. Create a New bundle
  4. In the Destination tab you will notice that you can't configure FTP setup due to missing 'Go to FTP Setup' link

Cause

The specific permission required to setup FTP Configuration for Canvas schedules is not granted.

 The role must have the action "FTP Configuration" enabled.

Resolution

Check the roles for your user to see whether FTP Configuration is enabled. 
If RBP integration is active, this will be controlled in BizX permission roles. 
Otherwise, it will be in Analytics - Analytics - Admin - Roles Maintenance.

For SF BizX RBP Functional permissions, please refer to:
2762935 - Online Report Designer (ORD) / Report - Canvas  Functional Permissions migration to RBP
https://me.sap.com/notes/2762935 
- user must have FTP Configuration under Analytics permission
- Also grant Schedule Reports to FTP Destination under Manage Reports/Dashboards


For Legacy ORD Roles:

The option to set the FTP configuration from within Report Distributor, like the option to access it from the Analytics - Analytics - Admin menu, is controlled by a user's role in ORD/WFA.  The role must have the action "FTP Configuration" enabled so that it appears in the Un-Restricted Actions list, unlike below:
