Explaining Permission Roles in Role-Based Permissions (RBP)

The Role in RBP defines access to data and functionality. This is where you define what you want your role to do in SAP SuccessFactors.

A Permission Role represents a set of permissions and grants these to Permission Groups or standard roles, such as an employee or manager.

Employees can have several different sets of permissions within a single role.

In Manage Permission Roles, you can review and edit existing roles or create new roles. You can review and edit the list of permissions granted by clicking the role name. The Permissions tab displays a role's different permission sections.

RBP is an important and challenging topic. Customers should look over available documentation carefully.
