Permission Groups - Understanding System Security

-

 


SAP SuccessFactors users who need to have similar permissions to access system can be dynamically grouped. 

For instance, you can group people based in a particular location, or working in a specific department or division.

The benefit of doing so is you don't need to manually assign permissions when there's a change in organizational structure. Anyone who meets the criteria, you have defined, is automatically granted the permission(s). 

A Security Administrator who has access to Manage Permission Groups tool can create a new group or modify an existing one. 


By choosing Create New, you go to Permission Group screen where you can define your criteria to include people, for instance, people from a particular country.



At the bottom of the same screen, you can also exclude people from the list - who should not be selected, for instance, a city. 


Here's an example;

Your company has a subsidiary in Indonesia. It has offices in different cities and its Jakarta office has only a few people. You want to create a Group of Employees for all Employees in Indonesia except Jakarta. 

You can create a Group by selecting Country from People Pool under Choose Group Members, and City from People Pool under Exclude these people from the group. 

On the top right side corner, when you choose Update, you can see the active members of your group. 



Once defined, choose Done to add the new group to the list of existing permission groups.

Easy to set up, isn't it?
