2447392 - Field level restriction for MDF object (e.g. Position) does not apply when searching for record in Succession Org Chart/Position Org Chart

Information is visible in field with restricted access in MDF object (e.g. Position), when searching for record (e.g. Position Search in Succession Org Chart/Position Org Chart).

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

1. Admin Center > Manage Permission Roles;
2. Select target permission role;
3. Permission > Miscellaneous Permissions;
4. In the MDF object (e.g. Position), field level override is specified for a field to "No Access":

      

5. Go to Position Org Chart -> Position search;
6. Information in field with restriction in RBP is visible (e.g. Location):

     

The field with the RBP restriction was made searchable in the object definition, and the system the searchable field can be visible for users with access to the MDF object.

• Currently, if the field that was restricted in RBP for the target MDF object, is defined as a searchable field in the object definition, will show the information when searching any record for the object.
• To avoid having information from a restricted field to show for users, it is necessary to remove the field from the searchable field list in the object definition in Admin Center > Configure Object Definition > Search for the MDF object (e.g. Position) > Make Corrections > Searchable fields > Remove the field > Save changes.
• The same behavior is applicable for fields selected to appear with the Position Title.
• For any design updates, please submit an enhancement request by following the process outlined in KBA 2090228 - How to submit enhancement ideas for SAP SuccessFactors Products - SAP for Me.
• Please Note: removing the field from the Searchable field definition in the object will remove the field as a filter in other areas of the system (e.g. location).
