Assigning Role-Based Permissions

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to identify and grant access to the Role-Based Permissions needed for Career Development Planning.

Permissions Utilized in Career Development Planning

Role-Based Permissions are easy to maintain and allow for the creation of dynamic groups. This means that users who change roles or positions within the organization can automatically lose or inherit permissions. For SAP SuccessFactors Career Development Planning, this means that rather than individually granting each permission to each Career Development Planning user or administrator, each role can have specialized permission levels.

This section describes how to enable the various permissions described in the following exercise Enable Administrator to Manage Role-Based Permission Access. As an initial step to utilizing Role-Based Permissions (RPB), the role must be granted to the following area called Manage Role-based Permission Access.

Screenshot of Admin Center is highlighting the Set User Permissions section, and the Manage Role-Based Permission Access option under it.

End User View: Admin Center→Set User Permissions→Manage Role-Based Permission Access.
