Assigning Permissions to add New Hires to SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to assign permissions to grant access to add a new hire directly into SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding.

Permission to Add a New Hire to Onboarding

While many organizations automate the start of onboarding through an integration with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting or an external Applicant Tracking System (ATS), there are scenarios where a user must manually enter a new hire's information. For example, if your organization hires a high-level executive or a seasonal contractor whose details were not processed through the standard recruiting pipeline, an administrator or recruiter needs the authorization to trigger the process manually.

Before you can manually add a new hire to Onboarding, the permission for the tool needs to be granted through role-based permissions. The ability to manually add a new hire to Onboarding is typically granted to someone from Human Resources, such as the recruiter and, sometimes, the Onboarding administrator.
