3163551 - Time Off and Time Sheet Permissions not Respected in the Latest Home Page

Symptom

Time Off and Time Sheet quick action cards "Request Time Off" and "View My Time Sheet" appear in the new home page of an employee, even if the employee (self) is not part of the target population of the role that provides Employee Views > Time Off permission and Employee Views > Time Sheet permission.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Remove Employee View > Time Off and Employee View > Time Sheet permissions from employee self service role for an employee;
  2. Employee gets these permissions from Manage Self Service role (target population excludes self);
  3. The Time off and Time Sheet quick action card "Request Time Off" and "View My Time Sheet" appears in the home page of the employee.

Cause

This is currently working as designed. There is a known limitation in the new home page, that permissions are not evaluated dynamically at run time, causing the tile to appear for the employee. i.e. target population is not being considered.

Resolution

If you would like to have this option added to the system you can open an enhancement request following the article 2090228 - How to submit enhancement ideas for SAP SuccessFactors Products. This way our Product Management team can consider it for future updates.
