3451477 - Goal Story Report shows goal field even without Goal: Data Access Story Permissions

Symptom

Goal Story Report is not respecting the Target Population for Role Permissions. The non-field columns in Story Report still show data to user even though they do not have Data Access Permissions.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Goal Management
  • SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics

Reproducing the Issue

1. Create a Goal domain Story Report with a non-field (ex. STATE_ID, Goal ID, Goal Plan Start Date etc.) as one of the columns in the report.

2. Let a user run the report who has restricted Target Population for Goals: Data Access Story Permission.

3. Notice that in the report, even though the user cannot view the other Goal Field data for other users (due to restricted Target Population for Goals: Data Access Story Permission), still the  values in the non-field columns show even though permission is not provided.

Resolution

This is currently an expected system behavior where the non-goal field values will show in the Story report even when the user does not have permission, since goal plan state is not a field and hence is not governed by the Story Data Access permissions. 

The below columns will not be affected by the RBP Target population:

state_ID
goal id
goal plan name
goal plan start date
goal plan end date
active/deleted
alignment
user id
last name 
first name
visibility
category

If you think this current behavior does not satisfy the business requirement and would like to see it changed, please kindly create an enhancement request so we can take it into considerations in future plan. This will enable us to gain a deeper understanding of customer expectations to work on improvements.
