2585107 - Unable to Find Biographical Information Fields in RBP

• You have created a custom field (or) enabled a standard field (like field Date of Death) in the "Biographical Information" portlet (personInfo)
• You now want to assign view/edit permissions to this field but you cannot find the field in Role Based Permissions

• SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

1. Create a custom field in the personInfo portlet via Manage Business Configuration (using a custom-string)
2. Go to Admin Centre > Role Based Permissions > and try to find the new field to assign permissions to
3. Notice the custom field is missing

• You cannot individually permission fields in the "Biographical Information" portlet (personInfo)
• RBP only allows to grant element level permissions and not field level

• If you need to permission these fields individually, you will need to open an Enhancement Request
• We suggest you to follow the below workaround to set the field visibility based on the user's permission group

1. Enable the required custom field or standard field(like field Date of Death) and set the field visibility to "Edit" through BCUI
2. Create a business rule as given in the below screenshot
3. This rule will check whether user is part of permission group "Admin"(Which we have to create manually), if the user is part of the permission group, then rule will display field to user, otherwise field will be hidden from UI

Note: Keep this rule on personInfo HRIS element with event type "OnView"

4. Mange Business Configuration – personInfo HRIS element:
