Symptom
- All the objects are visible for admin in Manage Data?
- Can we restrict access to non-secured objects in Manage Data?
Environment
- SuccessFactors Cloud HCM: MDF
- SuccessFactors Cloud HCM: Manage Data
Resolution
- As of b1905, anyone with access to the permission "Access to non-secured objects" will have access to Manage Data permission in Admin Center and be able to access all the non-secured MDF objects in addition to the secured objects that have been permissioned for the user.
- As an additional note, customers are recommended not to enable Security on the system related objects. For application specific objects that are requeried for its functioning customers are required to take additional care during security enabling.
Below is the list of objects, customers should not perform any security changes as it may cause application error on using MDF:

Although it will be possible to add security to some of the above objects, it is highly recommended that you do not, as this will causes issues in the instance.
Some of the above also will not allow you to add security, either the section is not available, you can selected it but it will not save or there is no Take Action option. This is by system design and these actions have been blocked by code as it is not supported.
