• In Manage Permission Roles
• Employee Data > Employment Details > Source Of Record 
  • View Permission: will allow to view the field
  • Edit: meant for Admin and API users

Notes: the Source of Record field is hardcoded and cannot be manually changed or imported. This field works to determine whether the source of the record from the system is from Onboarding or EC. This field is required for integration between Employee Central and SAP ERP as well to Integration Center. To use the field with other purposes, it is recommended to create a custom field named Source of Record.
