Symptom
- Latest People Profile is enabled
- HR Person searches for external user in search for action or people presented with error "You don't have permission to access the profile content."
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- HR User in “Search for action or people” searches an external onboarding user.
- Attempt to open the user's Latest People Profile.
- Observe that either no result is returned or the message "You don't have permission to access the profile content" appears.
Cause
- The permission role assigned to the user was not included under Roles for the relevant portlets in Configure Latest People Profile, preventing access to those profile sections.
Resolution
- Go to Configure Latest People Profile.
- Navigate to Full Profile and locate the relevant Employee Data sections/portlets.
- Edit each required portlet (pencil icon).
- Under Roles, add the permission role assigned to the HR user which includes the external user target population (the role that needs access to these portlets).
- Save the changes.
- Log out and back in (or clear cache) and test again by searching and opening the external onboarding user's profile.
- If needed, run the Refresh RBP Permission Configuration and test again.
