Symptom
In the latest people profile, job information permission(s) are not respected in latest edit UI, when accessing via the edit/pencil icon.
Permissions are respected when editing via 'take action' on the profile, as this retrieves the legacy edit UI.
In the latest people profile, employment details are not respected in latest edit UI, when accessing via the edit/pencil icon.
In order to verify you are using the latest edit UI, please review if the setting ‘Enable the latest editing and history UI for employee central HRIS entities on full profile’ is enabled in Configure Latest People Profile UI.

Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Log in to SF instance
- Remove element permission e.g. ‘cost center’.
- Proxy as user within MSS role -> navigate to any direct report's profile.
- Take action -> permission is respected.
- Pencil icon -> permission is not respected.
Employment details:
- Proxy user with view only RBP for employment details field
- New edit UI - RBP not respected - field is editable
- PP3/Old edit UI - RBP respected - field is view only
Cause
The field is editable because the logged in user might have one of the below permission:
- Employee Central Import Entities > Job Information
- Employee Central Import Entities > Employment details
Resolution
- Employee Central Import Entities e.g. Job Information, and target population centric, permits the granted user to edit all job information via Latest Edit UIs.
- Please remove these permissions from the logged in user:
- Employee Central Import Entities > Job Information
- Employee Central Import Entities > Employment details
