Symptom
When a User wants to recommened a course to another User, what defines what other User's are displayed in their search?
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Learning
Reproducing the Issue
- Access LMS as an end User.
- Click on a Course.
- See "Recommend >" to another User Option.
Resolution
Navigate to System Admin > Configuration > System Configuration > Search and find "restrictUserPeerSearchByOrg".
Although it is used for more than just recommendations, it controls whether your “recommenders” can find “recommendees” inside their own organization only or both inside and outside their organization. Set to true (own org only) or false (entire user base).
