Symptom
- A user who can view only the current record of their own employee profile cannot see the event reason or event in Job Information.
Environment
- Product: SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Login as a user who has permission to view only the current record of their own employee profile.
- Open the user's employee profile.
- Navigate to Employment Information > Job Information.
- Observe that event and event reason are not shown on the current record view.
Cause
- By design, event and event reason are shown on the History UI to explain why a change occurred; they are not displayed on the full details page of the current record.
- The user lacks the "View History" permission for Job Information, so the History UI (where event and event reason are visible) is not accessible.
Resolution
- Open Role-Based Permissions administration.
- Edit the relevant permission role assigned to the impacted users.
- Navigate to Employee Data > Job Information.
- Under Job Information Actions, enable "View History".
- Save the role and ensure it is assigned to the intended users/target population.
- In the employee profile, open Employment Information > Job Information, then use History to view event and event reason.
