Detailed Description

HR administrators can now manage permission roles, role assignments, and permission groups through a new set of REST APIs. Previously, you could manage role-based permissions (RBP) through OData APIs, but with limited functionality. For instance, OData APIs don't support querying access users for a given role or role assignment, adding Metadata Framework (MDF) permissions to roles, or making delta updates to permission groups. Now we're offering new REST APIs to support expanded capabilities for RBP configuration.

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 the assignment creation, application, and tracking process in Opportunity Marketplace. • Verify that recommendations and notifications for assignments function correctly. • Test role-based permissions for affected roles to ensure correct data access after the change.
