Symptom
Using Proxy Now you can search for users you have proxy access to by first name or last name but not by username
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
Enable the option in Platform Feature Settings > "Hide Username in the UI" > save, log out and back in
Now, using Proxy Now try to find a user you have proxy access for, you will not find them by username
Cause
This is expected since the 2H 2021 release.
Proxy now has adopted the Universal Person Search and so works in the same way as the user search
With the option "Hide Username in the UI" enabled, you cannot search by username in the Universal Person Search which now also applies to the Proxy Now search
Resolution
If it is an option for your business, disable the option "Hide Username in the UI" from Platform Feature Settings
If displaying the username is not an option, you will need to search by First Name, Last Name instead
