Detailed Description

As an administrator, you must now ensure that the Employee Central module is enabled under Admin Center Proxy Management for users to access Employee Central OData APIs in proxy mode. When accessing Employee Central OData APIs in proxy mode, the system now checks whether the Employee Central module is enabled in Proxy Management . Additionally, if proxy users need to view private data of the account holder, you must also select the Private Data For Proxy Account Holder checkbox.

Impact Assessment

This enhancement is automatically on and directly affects all SAP SuccessFactors implementations without requiring any configuration. Implementation teams should validate that the new behavior aligns with business requirements and communicate the change to end users if necessary.

Test Recommendations
• Test all API integrations using the updated or deprecated endpoints to confirm continued operation. • Validate authentication mechanisms (OAuth, certificates) for API connections after the change. • Test role-based permissions for affected roles to ensure correct data access after the change. • Validate that no unintended data exposure occurs with the new permission settings.
