3767438 - Is it possible to restrict DRTM purge request types using role based permissions in SuccessFactors?

Symptom

While creating a new purge request, users can access/view all DRTM-related purge request types if they have “Create DRTM Data Purge Requests” permission. Users can view other DRTM purge request types like DRTM Employee Profile and DRTM Personal Information.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Data Retention Management and start creating a new purge request.
  2. Observe that all DRTM purge request types are visible (for example, DRTM Employee Profile, DRTM Personal Information) even when only the “DRTM Master Data” permission is assigned.

Cause

  • This is expected behavior: the “Create DRTM Data Purge Requests” permission under “Manage Data Purge” grants access to all DRTM purge request types. There is no per-type permission. There is no separate permission to restrict individual DRTM purge request types when “Create DRTM Data Purge Requests” is granted.
  • The “DRTM Master Data” permission under “Data Retention Management” controls access to the “Manage Data” → “DRTM Master Data” configuration and does not control DRTM Master Data Purge Requests.

Resolution

If such functionality is needed, customers should raise an enhancement idea to the Product team, as per KBA 2090228 - How to submit enhancement ideas for SAP SuccessFactors Products. This also allows other customers to engage and endorse it.
