1. Login to system with provided access. 
2. Go to the Employee Profile. 
3. Edit a portlet that has a picklist value dropdown present. 
4. Select the dropdown for the picklist. 
5. Notice it is showing "No Data" instead of the picklist values as expected. 

Expected behaviour based on configuration of the system. 

As per Enabling Search Field Restriction | SAP Help Portal, this scenario will happen if:

1. This MDF is a RBP secured MDF Provisioning switch for Generic Object is enabled ("Enable RBP Target Criteria for Value Help" is enabled in provisioning)
2. This impacted field is a picklist field, so this field belongs to non-secured MDF object (A)
3. User who is impacted has NO permission of "Access to non-secured objects"

To resolve the issue, you will need to ensure the user who is facing the issue has "Access to non-secured objects" granted to them if the "Enable RBP Target Criteria for Value Help" settings is enabled in Provisioning --> Company Settings.
