3207363 - Setting Secured to No Raises Error Messsage In Time Related Object Definitions - 1H 2022

Symptom

Error on changing Secured to 'No' of Time off/Time Sheet objects: "Changing the object definition so that it is not secured is not allowed because this can cause security and data privacy issues"

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time off
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Sheet

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Configure Object Definition
  2. Select any Time off/Time Sheet related object (say Employee Time)
  3. Set the 'Secured' to 'Yes' (If not already secured) -> Save
  4. Edit the Employee Time object and change 'Secured' to 'No' -> Save
  5. Error Occurs: "Changing the object definition so that it is not secured is not allowed because this can cause security and data privacy issues"

Cause

This is expected behaviour from 1H 2022 release.

Resolution

  • Changing the 'Secured' to 'No' is not allowed.
