Symptom
After creating a workflow request, the approver tries to update and gets the error "No permission"
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Access the instance
- proxy as affected user
- go to my profile
- Then select the MDF Object
- click on edit
- then click save
- Now proxy as the approver of the workflow
- In the home page click on the "review and approve" under the section Approvals
- Select update
- then select anything just make a few changes
- then click on "Approve"
- you will get the error "No permission"
Cause
It requires same permission type with the workflow action type if the approver needs to update request
Resolution
If the approver wants to update a workflow request which is triggered by CREATE action, "create" permission is needed for the approver. if the workflow request is triggered by CORRECT action, "correct" permission is needed.
