  • How to create permission roles for external Learners/User and grant them the required permissions?
  • How to grant admins permissions to manage external learners/users?

Environment

  • SAP Successfactors HXM Suite
  • SAP Successfactors Learning

Cause

In order to control permission for externals, RBP needs to be enhanced to support this user type as access group and target group as well.

Resolution

External Learners: users who are not employees but need access to the Learning module.

External Users: external onboarding users who are not yet employees but still require access to SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite. 

#1: Creating Permission Roles for External Learners / Users

Create a role mapping for external learners and grant them the permissions to log in to SAP SuccessFactors and access Learning.

    1. Go to Admin Center > Manage Permission Roles

    2. Click Create New Role For External User

    3. In User Type, select "External Learner" or "External Onboarding User", and then click Done

    4. Type a name and description for the role and then click Permissions

      • In User Permissions > General User Settings, select User Login
      • In User Permissions > Learning, select Learning Access Permission (for External Learners)
        You can select additional permissions. For example, you can grant the external learners / users access to SAP Jam or Mobile.

    5. Click Done
      You return to the Permission Role Detail page.

    6. Click Add
      The Grant this role to... page opens.

    7. In Grant role to, select Everyone (External Learner or External Onboarding User)

#2: Granting Admins Permissions to Manage External Learners / Users

Admins need some permissions, for example, User Search, Reset User Account, and Reset User Passwords, to manage external learners in SAP SuccessFactors platform.

    1. Go to Admin Center > Manage Permission Roles
      Select an admin role you created

    2. In the Permission Settings page, make sure that the admin has the necessary permissions to manage external learners / users, such as User Search, Reset User Account, Reset User Passwords, and Access to Integration Center
    3. In the Grant this role to section, specify External Learner or External Onboarding User as the target population.
