Symptom
- Administrators are unable to set permissions for "Document Category = Uncategorized" in Manage Documents.
- Administrators are unable to set permissions only for "Document Category = Uncategorized" in Manage Documents.
- There is no "Uncategorized" category available in the dropdown options in Manage Document Categories Permissions settings.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Manage Permission Roles.
- Attempt to set permissions for "Manage Document Categories"
- Select "Choose item" to enable the dropdown.
- Observe that there is no "Uncategorized" category available in the dropdown options.
Cause
"Uncategorized" is not a document category like the other categories listed in Manage Documents > Document Categories. It is a collection of all documents that were not added to any pre-defined or custom category.
Resolution
Access to uncategorized documents can only be granted by providing access to all categories.
SAP advises that only a "Super Admin" user with access to all categories should access uncategorized documents to avoid potential security risks, as this documents can come from different sources.
