Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors HCM Core
- Metadata Framework (MDF)
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a custom MDF object in Configure Object Definition;
- Configure the object to be Secured = Yes;
- Go to Manage Permission Roles to grant the permissions for Miscellaneous Permissions;
- See only View, Edit and Import/Export options.
Cause
The options available under Manage Permission Roles > Miscellaneous Permissions > *MDF Object* depend on the effective date set for the MDF object.
If the effective date is set to None, only these 3 options will be available: View, Edit and Import/Export.
Resolution
In case you need to control the other permission options, the effective date of the MDF object cannot be set as None.
Depending on the Effective Dating of the object, the Permissions Available will be different. You can check all the Permissions Available for each type of Effective Date by accessing SAP Help Portal -> Setting Up Security Objects.
