Symptom

  • What is the behavior of the pending nomination visibility.
  • Approval pemission is missing and options are still visible.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Succession and Development

Reproducing the Issue


Users without Succession Approval Permission granted are able to see the options “Approve Successor” and "Reject Successor" in the Position Card on Position Tile:

However, when trying to approve or reject the nomination, the warning message "You do not have necessary permission to perform the selected task" appears, informing the user does not have permission to proceed with this action:

Resolution

Currently this is the expected behavior of the system. However, Engineering team is aware of this discrepancy and they are already discussing the possibility to change this on a future enhancement (SCM-7623).
