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

  1. Login to SF -> Admin Centre->  Go to  “Work Tech Configuration” page.
  2. Click Connect in the section Connection and Authentication


  3. 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

Note : FOR SAP  SUPPORT ENGINEERS , Please see Internal Memo
