2549918 - Edit icon (pencil icon) in form still visible even when there is no edit goal permission - Performance Management

In the goal or development goal section of the form, the edit icon or pencil icon still appears even if the user does not have permission to edit the goal.

SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management

1. Launch a form for a user who does not have permission to edit the goals in their Goal or Development goal Plans.
2. In the goal or development goal section, the user can still see the edit icon (pencil icon) next to the goal name.
   
   
3. When user clicks on the pencil icon, edit goal dialog pops up and user does not have permission to edit the goal.
   
   

This is currently working as designed when section permission is "enabled" for the user. The same applies to Latest Goal as well.

As per present design, the pencil icon is rendered on the basis of Section permission. If section permission is "enabled" for the user, the pencil icon would be available in order for the user to view the goal details or fields. So regardless whether employee has permission to edit the goal or not, they can still click on the edit icon to view additional goal information. To hide the pencil icon please refer to this article KBA 2202750 - How to disable Edit icon (pencil icon) next to the goal name in the Goal section.

Note

1. If the user has NO "read" permission to any goal fields in the goal plan xml, the edit icon (pencil icon) will not appear on form. 
2. If the user ony has "read" permission to goal fields in goal plan xml, the edit icon (pencil icon) will appear on form, though the fields will be greyed out when the user clicks on the pencil icon.
3. Pre-requisite of Edit icon (pencil icon) appearing on form:

• section permission is "enabled" on form
• the user is granted goal plan access to the subject's goal plan (latest goal)
• the user is granted at least "read" permission to goal fields in goal plan xml
• if the goal is a private goal, the user is grantd private-access permission in goal plan xml
