After the 1H 2022 release, the Learning Integration fields in Provisioning are read only or have automatically been set. How to update the read only fields in Provisioning?

Note: Provisioning is for Partners and SAP access only.

• SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
• SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Note: Refer to KBA 3079390 for best practices before integration.

Learning tenant created post May 20th, 2022 with new BizX tenant and was provisioned as integrated:

• Automatically integrated with the appropriate BizX tenant. There is no need to update the Learning Integration fields in Provisioning > Company Settings.
  • Authorized SP Assertion Consumer Service Settings may need to be updated to include the LMS URLs as per the configurations mentioned in the Partner Implementation Guide on Partner Edge
  • The Learning base URL to use in the Authorized SP Assertion Consumer Service section can be found in the emails sent when the tenants were provisioned or in Provisioning > Company Settings > Enable SuccessFactors Learning Integration
• Validate that the SP Authorized Consumer Service has the Learning internal SSO URLs. The information can be found in the Partner Edge Integration Guide.
• Instances which fall in this bracket, initial access to the LMS is given via SFADMIN in BizX/HCM. Please see the following KBA for more information 3329518.
• Please also ensure you provide your BizX user with the relevant Learning Role Based Permissions (RBP), KBA for RBP troubleshooting 2321200.
• In case the environment is provided with IAS already integrated, it can be necessary to implement the partial SSO to allow the SFADMIN login via password method (instead SSO). For further assistance review the KBA 2954556 - How to implement Partial SSO after Identity Authentication IAS upgrade on SuccessFactors.
