Detailed Description

Alumni users can now log into SAP SuccessFactors using Identity Authentication to securely access company materials after leaving the company. Once you've completed the steps in Enabling Alumni Access, you can initiate or schedule a delta sync job in Identity Provisioning to update the former employee’s status to Alumni in Identity Authentication. This will initiate an activation email that the Alumni user can use to authenticate back into SAP SuccessFactors with Identity Authentication.

Impact Assessment

This change affects SAP SuccessFactors implementations by introducing updated behavior or new capabilities. Implementation teams should review the change and assess whether configuration adjustments, user training, or regression testing are required. A targeted review of affected processes is recommended.

Test Recommendations
• Test the updated UI across supported browsers and screen resolutions. • Verify navigation flows and ensure no broken links or missing UI elements. • Test authentication flows with the new method (certificate/OAuth) before disabling Basic Auth. • Validate that all integration scenarios authenticate successfully after the change.
