Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Resolution

  • In PP3, the Edit link/Pencil Icon cannot be hidden in the Job Information block as it is tied with Take Action permissions.
  • This is another way to create a transaction along with the Take action option.
  • It isn't possible to have the Take Action permission without the Edit/Pencil button.
  • The ESS edit permission can be controlled via Role Based Permission, but MSS cannot be controlled.
  • The same logic applies for other blocks/portlets such as Compensation Information and Job Relationships.
