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 HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to SF -> Admin Centre-> Go to “Work Tech Configuration” page.
- Click Connect in the section Connection and Authentication
- After clicking on Connect and adding the credentials for Microsoft to accept the permissions, you might see one of the errors below:
Authentication Error
OR "Permission check" error
Cause
- If customer are trying to connect to the same Microsoft Azure Tenant from two different SF instances of same customer which is on the same Production or Preview Stack / Env.
- Missing permissions from Microsoft end.
Resolution
1) AUTHENTICATION ERROR
By design, it is not allowed for the same Azure Tenant to connect to more than one SF company (on the same DC/env). If this happens, you'll see the authentication error. In this case, you have two options:
- Disconnect the other instance from the Azure Tenant before connecting to required instance
- OR use other/new Azure Tenant to connect to the required instance. However, please keep in mind that switching Azure tenant means that the Teams users may be different. So If you are switching to other /new Azure tenant please make sure the required users are set up with relevant permissions.
2) PERMISSION CHECK ERROR
- Please verify if relevant Microsoft API permissions are granted according to Required Permissions for the SAP SuccessFactors App in Microsoft Teams | SAP Help Portal
- If it's a new set up and you received the permission error, please test again after 1hour or later. If the issue persists even if the required permissions were added, please create a case for component LOD-SF-EAS-WRK for further support.
