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 permission 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 RBP Admin Access.

End User View: Admin Center→Set User Permissions→Manage RBP Admin Access.

Enable Administrator to Manage Role-Based Permission Access

In this exercise, you will enable the Manage Role-Based Permission Access to an administrator to give them access to Manage Permission Groups and Manage Permissions Roles.

Steps

Using the Action Search, locate Manage RBP Admin Access.
Select Add and search for the user name for which you wish to grant access. Select the username from the list.
Enable the checkboxes for the access you wish to grant (often all 4 options).
Log out and log back in as the user.
Now, you should be able to access Manage Permission Groups and Manage Permissions Roles, which allows the Administrator to modify permissions for the Career Development Planning module as well as other SAP SuccessFactors modules.
Caution
This guide does not discuss Role-Based Permissions in depth. This guide only addresses permissions as they relate to Career Development Planning.

Result

This concludes the Exercise: Enable Administrator to Manage Role-Based Permission Access.

Summary

Role-Based Permissions enable dynamic group creation and automatic permission inheritance when users change roles or positions within the organization.
Manage Role-Based Permission Access grants administrators the ability to view and modify Manage Permission Groups and Manage Permission Roles for Career Development Planning.
