Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to the admin account and proxy as a user with HR permissions (non-admin).
- Navigate to Goal Management -> Administration.
- Open Mass Change Goal Plan States.
- Observe that an application error appears with errorCode=AJAXUNAUTHORIZED.
Cause
