Symptom
You are using a SuccessFactors (SF) deep link to access employees profiles (/sf/liveprofile) but you are facing the "You do not have permission to view this profile" error.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
Use this SF deep link: https://<SF server address>/sf/liveprofile?selected_user=<XXX>
Cause
The selected_user parameter expects existing User IDs necessarily and not any other identifiers (e.g. Person ID). If the User ID informed is not found, the error is thrown.
Resolution
Fill the selected_user parameter with an existing User ID.
For other available parameters and deep links, refer to the List of SAP SuccessFactors Deep Links chapter.
OBS.: A user's User ID can be checked in the Employee Export Data (UDF) (refer to the KBA 2797141).
