3212035 - Expected Behavior of MDF Objects with Import and Export Permission

Symptom

I would like to understand the expected behavior of MDF Objects with Import and Export permission.
This behavior was enhanced since 2H 2025 Release: Support Record Level Permission for Import and Export | SAP Help Portal
Before 2H 2025 release, Data flow via MDF Import/Export does not respect target criteria defined in the RBP, post 2H 2025 release, we have enhanced the behaviors of MDF Objects with Import and Export Permission.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite

Cause

For non-secured objects, No record level permission check is applied. All records are included in the export/ export but user need to have Access to non-secured Objects permission.
For secured objects, MDF Import/Export respects users that have permission over the object, kindly refer to:

Resolution

If a non-secured object is business-critical and the customer does not want users to access it via Import or Export, please change it to a secured object or control accessibility through RBP: Access to non-secured Objects permission.
