Describing SAP SuccessFactors Variable Pay Permissions

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to define SAP SuccessFactors Variable Pay permissions.

Variable Pay Permissions

Companies with complex organizations would benefit from more detailed administrative permission schemes to meet compliance and audit rules for their organizations. With this set of compensation Role-Based Permissions, administrators can permission each tab and each page individually within the Compensation Admin Center. The tools have three admin permission sections:

Compensation
Variable Pay
Compensation and Variable Pay (for settings that are common to both Compensation and Variable Pay)

Note

Permissions are based on the granular administration Role-Based Permission model. This allows the administrator to govern who can do what within Compensation Home and other user interfaces at a more detailed level.

Role-Based Permission Settings

The Variable Pay module has two sides: the administration of the module and the use of worksheets by planners or managers.

There are four key roles in SAP SuccessFactors Variable Pay:

Administrators – Variable Pay administrators are responsible for creating and configuring Variable Pay programs. Compensation and Variable Pay use the same admin interface.
Compensation Planners/Managers – Access to Variable Pay Worksheets
Human Resource Business Partners – Access to Variable Pay Worksheets/Reports
Executive Reviewers (Top Management) – Access to all Variable Pay Worksheets/ Reports

Role-Based Permissions control:

Access to tabs and sub-tabs of the SAP SuccessFactors Variable Pay administration interface
Access to specific plans via the My Forms page (advanced features enabled in Company Settings)
Executive Review view/read/edit
Access to lookup tables

Role-Based Permissions do not control Variable Pay worksheet attributes.

Consider the following permissions:

Roles	Permission Name	Permission Type	Choose	Description
Variable pay admin	Manage Compensation & VarPay	Administrative	Select All	Allows access to tools related to both Compensation and Variable Pay
Variable Pay admin	Manage Variable Pay	Administrative	Select All	Allows access to tools related solely to Variable Pay
Variable Pay admin	Compensation & Variable Pay	User	Executive Read/Edit all plans	Allows access to Executive Review forms
Planners/Managers	Manage Compensation	Administrative	Compensation Management Permission	Allows the Compensation tab to be visible even if no forms have been routed to an inbox
HR	Reports permission	User	Select All	Access to all reports
HR	Manage Compensation	Administrative	Compensation Management Permission	Allows the Compensation tab to be visible even if no forms have been routed to the inbox
Executives	Compensation & Variable Pay	User	Executive Read/Edit all plans	Allows access to Executive Review forms
Executives	Manage Compensation	Administrative	Compensation Management Permission	Allows the Compensation tab to be visible when viewing Executive Review forms

Planners

Unlike in compensation where managers/planners play a key role in employee’s salary recommendation, bonus calculation and payouts are typically completed by administrators alone. The variable pay forms are still routed to the managers for review and approval and, if permissioned, to override the payout. The manner of planner approval is by sending the form to the next step.

Note

Planners use the worksheet once a year for two weeks and, considering there are new features each year and much information on the worksheet, navigation can become challenging. A guided simulation of the worksheets and its elements can be created by using SAP Enable Now.

Executive Review Permissions

Executive Review enables a user to see all the data that a planner can see on a worksheet without the need to be part of the route map.

Permissions can be given to either Read or Edit the worksheets. Permissions can also be set for users to import and export data for offline edits. Planners or managers of affected forms can be notified when send email setting is selected.

When a user is granted Executive Review permissions, the Executive Review sub-tab will appear in the main Compensation tab. When Executive Review is opened, the target population from multiple worksheets are listed on one page.

Data on Executive Review can be massive as the user is looking at information from multiple forms. To help with this, data can be drilled down by using filter preferences. More details on how to use Executive Review is discussed in a later lesson.

The settings for Executive Review Read and Edit permissions is displayed.

Statement View Permissions

There are two sections in Role-Based Permission which controls the Variable Pay statements. One is in User Permissions→Employee Data to permit access to actual Statements (described in later sections), as shown in the following figure.

The Employee Data section is highlighted in User Permissions.

Additionally, Employee Files need to be configured to enable the applicable view(s) in Admin Center→Configure People Profile .

Summary

Granular role-based permissions let admins control access to individual tabs/pages in Compensation Admin Center, with sections for Compensation, Variable Pay, and shared settings.
Variable Pay involves two sides: admin configuration and planner/manager worksheets; key roles include Administrators, Planners/Managers, HRBPs, and Executive Reviewers with varying worksheet/report access.
Role-based permissions govern admin UI access (tabs/sub-tabs), plan access via My Forms, Executive Review view/read/edit, and lookup tables—but do not control worksheet attributes.
Executive Review lets authorized users view (read/edit) and optionally import/export aggregated worksheet data across multiple forms without being in the route map, surfaced via the Executive Review sub-tab under Compensation, with notifications to planners/managers and filters to drill into large datasets.
Variable Pay statement access is controlled via Role-Based Permissions in User Permissions → Employee Data (to access statements) and by enabling the relevant views in Admin Center → Configure People Profile.
