Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
    • Dashboards and Tiles

Reproducing the Issue

Symptom 1:

  1. Go to Report Center
  2. Run a dashboard
  3. Attempt to apply a filter > Error is displayed: The access validation is failed! Permission check failed 

Symptom 2:

  1. Go to Home Page
  2. Click on View Tile Reports
  3. Open a Tile
  4. Click on the filter icon > It doesn't respond

Cause

This issue occurs because the validation checks added to the backend calls restrict non-admin users from viewing and modifying the filter options.

Resolution

The patch fix will be deployed on November 4th, 2025, and the filter icon will become accessible to non-admin users again.

Workaround:

  1. Go to Admin Center > Manage Permission Roles
  2. Edit the relevant permission role assigned to the affected user
  3. Select “Manage Dashboards / Reports”
  4. Enable “Analytics Tiles and Dashboards”
  5. Save the changes

NOTE: This permission allows user to view all the Tiles and Dashboards created in the instance by any user.
