2880788 - Same query and different results to different users - SAP SuccessFactors Odata API

Different users (one admin and another non-admin) run a query and get different results. Admin user get more results than non-admin user.

SAP SuccessFactors Integration

• Odata API

Run a query with $top=xxxx and $orderby clause with non-admin user and admin user.

Expected behavior. For non-admin users, duplicated results is removed by platform.

Only this time the orderby clause make it happens more frequently in the first page of 1000 records.

There are two ways to avoid the behavior:

1. Use paging=snapshot approach (more details on Server Pagination)
2. Don't use $orderby clause.
