The SAP SuccessFactors HCM Role-Based Permission (RBP) model governs access to different modules based on user roles. The access levels are as follows:
- Learning Module: Accessible only to Users.
- Learning Administrator Tool: Restricted to Administrators.
- Permissions: Vary according to the assigned role within the Learning system.
In the SAP SuccessFactors Learning system, there are three primary types of roles:
- User
- Administrator
- Instructor
It is recommended to use template roles that include all necessary permissions for everyone in the organization. These templates can be easily duplicated, allowing you to add or remove permissions as needed to create specific roles.
When creating a new role template, an Administrator can choose the type of role and define its access level. This is done by adding or removing specific permissions to tailor the role according to the organization's requirements.
Role Permissions and User Types
Permissions in the SAP SuccessFactors Learning system consist of various functions and entities. Each role is associated with a unique set of permissions, enabling organizations to create tailored roles for different user categories, such as employees, contractors, vendors, and customers. This customization allows for precise access control based on user needs.
For User roles, permissions grant access to user-side tiles, menus, and links. For instance, vendors or external users typically do not require access to internal links or specific features like the Curriculum Status page. The Instructor role provides permissions for specific functions within the My Classes tab.
