Exploring SAP SuccessFactors Learning: Overview

Users may be employees, contractors, vendors, customers, and other SAP SuccessFactors Learning end users. Users may include managers, Human Resource Business Partners (HRBPs), and instructors. Users access the user side of the application from the Learning drop-down, where they can manage their own learning needs. They may view and manage their learning needs if they have responsibilities for other users.

An Administrator is a person who performs actions in the Learning application. An administrator's role determines their actions in the system and where they may perform them. These actions may include creating or editing learning entities (such as items, curricula, or programs), assigning learning, scheduling training, registering users, adding history records, and running reports. Administrators will access the application using the Learning Administration tool in HCM.

Here are the key SAP SuccessFactors Learning Roles:

Delegate Managers, Alternate Managers, and HR Business Partners (HRBPs) may also have manager access and responsibilities for users.
