3569413 - RBP not respected on gender field in latest PPX – 2H2024

Symptom

  • The Gender field in the People Profile is visible to the Manager role even when the View and Edit action is restricted in Role-Based Permissions (RBP).
  • The issue is specific to the latest People Profile and does not occur in the Legacy profile.
  • The issue affects all users, resulting in sensitive data being visible to managers.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, People Profile - Full Profile

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Restrict the View and Edit action for the Gender field in RBP.
  2. Log in as a user with the Manager role.
  3. Navigate to the People Profile of an employee.
  4. Observe that the Gender field is still visible.



  5. Compare with legacy behavior - permission is respected.

Cause

This is expected behaviour.

Field-level permissions are not considered if OData API admin permission is granted.

Resolution

  • If you have the Employee Central HRIS OData API (read-only) administrator permission, then you can view all Employee Central entities on People Profile.
  • If you have both the Employee Central HRIS OData API (editable) administrator permission and the user permission to view an entity, then you can edit the entity on People Profile.
