Symptom
Starting from 2H 2025 release, an error occurs when trying to Give Feedback in Continuous Feedback: "Unable to select because *user* doesn’t have permission to access feedback data. Please choose another recipient."
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Continuous Feedback
SAP SuccessFactors Continuous Performance Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Continuous Feedback
- Attempt to "Give Feedback" to another user.
- Observe the error "Unable to select because *user* doesn’t have permission to access feedback data. Please choose another recipient."
Cause
Employees, who don't not have access to Continuous Feedback, can't be picked up as feedback recipients.
Resolution
This is the new Continuous Feedback design.
Previously, if a feedback was sent to an employee who had no access to Continuous Feedback, the recipient could not review that feedback.
Therefore, we have enhanced the behavior, now allowing the users to Give Feedback only to those recipients, who are able to view it.
