SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

1. Add an Employee Referral Program candidate using the CandidateEmployeeReferral entity in OData API.
2. An error occurred: "[COE0019]Please grant the following permissions: Employee Referral - pool or Employee Referral - job specific".

The system checks if the employee who referred the candidate ("referredBy") has the necessary permissions. This is determined by whether the feature 'Check for employee referral permissions for adding candidate (pool and job specific)' has been enabled in Admin Center > Set Up Employee Referral Program.

Here are some possible causes:

1. The employee does not have the employee referral permissions.
2. A wrong User Sys ID is provided for the "referredBy" field in the API request.

Grant the following permissions to the employee in the "referredBy" field.

• Recruiting Permissions > Employee referral - pool
• Recruiting Permissions > Employee referral - job specific    

Make sure to provide the correct User Sys ID for the "referredBy" field. Please note that only the User Sys ID is accepted, and not the username.
