Symptom
In Quick Action, certain field(s) are editable, but the same field is not editable in MSS UI.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Job Information
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure quick action (change department) and use the 'position' field.
- There is no permission provided for the login user to edit the position field in Job Information.
- However the position field is editable in quick action, while it is view only in MSS for the same users.
Cause
The field is editable because the logged in user might have one of the below permission:
- Employee Central HRIS OData API (read-only) OR
- Employee Central HRIS OData API (editable) OR
- Employee Central Import Entities > Job Information
Resolution
- Employee Central HRIS OData API (read-only) and Employee Central HRIS OData API (editable) permissions are intended to be used only for system administrators in order to perform API actions, hence is not recommended to provided such permissions for regular users.
- Please remove these permissions from the logged in user:
- Employee Central HRIS OData API (read-only)
- Employee Central HRIS OData API (editable)
- Employee Central Import Entities > Job Information
