2610899 - Error to perform tasks with Workflow using ODATA API

Not able to perform tasks with Workflow, for example withdraw, decline or reject, using ODATA API with an user with RBP admin permissions.

SuccessFactors OData API

1. Try to perform a task, for example withdraw an Workflow ID using a user with admin permission: Ex: POST https://api19.sapsf.com/odata/v2/withdrawWfRequest?wfRequestId=301
2. Then you receive the error message: [COE0018]User "admin_username" is not authorized to perform the action for the workflow

It is an expected behavior because in Odata API, only workflow current approver can perform the tasks with workflow, since the  Odata API doesn't check if the user has "Manage Workflow Requests" admin permission.
