3690202 - Expected behavior of MDF object permissions with time-based restrictions in SAP Successfactors

• Permissions for MDF objects are not functioning as expected when configured with time-based restrictions.
• Users with "Edit" permissions set to a specific time range (e.g., 12 months) are able to edit all records, regardless of the time restriction.
• "View" permissions configured as "Full" override the time-based restrictions for "Edit" permissions.

1. Create MDF parent-child objects with time-based restrictions.
2. Assign "View all" permissions to one role and "Edit" permissions restricted to a specific time range (e.g., 12 months) to another role.
3. Test the roles independently:

• Users with "Edit" permissions restricted to 12 months can only view and edit records within the specified time range.
• Users with "View all" permissions can view all records.

The system is designed so that "View" permissions take precedence over "Edit" permissions. Assigning "View all" overrides the time-based restrictions applied to "Edit" permissions.

1. Confirm that this behavior is expected and aligns with the system design.
2. If stricter control is required, avoid assigning "View all" permissions to roles that also have time-based "Edit" restrictions.
3. Refer to SAP's Influence Opportunity Homepage to submit enhancement requests for additional functionality.
