3600101 - "Show Empty Fields" label is showing on latest people profile for user who do not have permission to view the fields

Symptom

  • Users who have limited permissions are able to see the label "Show Empty Fields" for the fields they are not permissioned to see.
  • When user clicks on the "Show Empty Fields"  label, the label then turns to "Hide Empty Fields" however the hidden fields do not show as the user does not have permission to these fields.

User should not be able to see the "Show empty fields"  for the fields they are not permissioned to see.

For example if a job information portlet contains 50 fields and user A has permission to view 5 of these fields on user B profile. The 5 permissioned fields will show, However the show empty fields label shows as following "Show Empty Fields(45)". when user A clicks on the label "Show Empty Fields(45)" the label changes to "Hide Empty Fields(45)", However the empty fields will not appear as expected. 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Proxy as user with limited permissions
  2. Go to another employees profile
  3. Go to job data > job information
  4. See that the fields the user does not have access to, are not showing which is expected.
  5. However they are counted in the UI under "Show Empty Fields"
  6. When user click  "Show Empty Fields" the label turns to "Hide Empty Fields" however the hidden fields do not show as the user does not have permission to these.

Resolution

This will be fixed in 2H 2025 release.
