Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Set the user's related Learning Administration account to "Locked" >
  2. In Learning, open the "Dashboard" menu and observe that “Learning Administration” is still available >
  3. Select “Learning Administration” >
  4. The following validation error is displayed: "You cannot login now as you are locked by the application. Please contact the system administrator to enable your login".

Cause

  • This behavior is expected due to the system's design.
  • Locking the related Learning Administrator account doesn't remove the "Learning Administration" option from the "Dashboard" menu. Learning Users attempting to access this option will encounter this validation error. 

Resolution

If the goal is to completely hide the "Learning Administration" option, it's necessary to remove the related Learning User account from the corresponding Adminstrator one:

  1. Learning Administration >
  2. People > Users > Search and access the desired account >
  3. Locate the "Related Admin" field to identify the relevant Learning Administrator account >
  4. Now, go to System Administration > Security > Administrators >
  5. Search and access the desired account in edit mode >
  6. Locate the "Related User" field > Remove the user >
  7. Apply the changes.

Note: Locking the related Learning Administrator account won't fully remove the Learning Administration access. Users may still search for it in the BizX home page. However, they'll encounter a validation error when attempting to access it. To completely revoke this access, it's required to remove the "Learning Admin Access" permission in BizX.
