Environment

Employee Central: RBP

Reproducing the Issue

Search for any employee in action search and click on employee's quick card to navigate to employee data.

Cause

Eventhough permission to view employee data is provided, there would be one basic permission missing which will result in this issue.

Resolution

If we do user role search, we can see that the admin can access employee’s data. However, another missing permission is causing this issue.

Below permission should be given to admin along with regular employee data permissions to avoid this issue:
