Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Compensation
  • SAP SuccessFactors Variable Pay

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Compensation
  2. Select the Budget Assignments tab
  3. Click the relevant compensation plan.
  4. The page shows a permission error instead of loading the budget assignment view.

Cause

The role assignment for the relevant permission role does not have the target population set that includes the user's direct reports.

In addition, the option "Granted users also have the same access to themselves" is not enabled for the target population.

Resolution

Check the role assignment for the relevant role permission and ensure:

  1. The target population includes the user's direct reports
  2. Ensure that the checkbox "Granted users also have the same access to themselves" is ticked/enabled when defining the target population
