Detailed Description

As an administrator, you can now allow users to view pending workflow requests through the getWorkflowPendingData OData function import without the Employee Central HRIS OData API (read-only) permission. Previously, viewing pending workflow requests using the getWorkflowPendingData API required the Employee Central HRIS OData API (read-only) permission. This is a broad admin permission that grants read access to all HRIS OData APIs. Now, we've enhanced the permission check for the API to be more precise.

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 existing workflows and business rules to confirm they trigger correctly with the new behavior. • 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.
