Alphabetic Connector List > SAP SuccessFactors

In order to authenticate against the SuccessFactors OData APIs the connector needs three different elements:

1.Server URL

2.Username

3.Password

4.Organization/Company ID

It is necessary to provide the user with role-based permissions to access any OData Entity. These permissions give the user the right to use the API. They do not grant any user interface logon.

Execute the following steps in order to enable the OData API in SuccessFactors:

1.Navigate to the Admin Center.

2.Type "Manage Permission Roles" into the Tools search field.

3.Select the permission role.

4.In the Permission Settings, click on the Permission... button.

5.Under Manage Integration Tools, select the Admin Access to OData API checkbox.

6.Under Employee Central API, select the following checkboxes:

a.Employee Central Foundation OData API (read-only)

b.Employee Central HRIS OData API (read-only)

7.Click on the Done button to save the changes.

There are two modes which determine what a user or a user group are authorized to view or do:

•User Mode
Assigned role-based permission settings determine what entities can be viewed and what can be done with them.

•Admin Mode
Allows full access to Employee Central OData API entities and operations. This should only be used in a limited number of cases. Mainly technical integrations. The Admin Mode overrides any role-based permissions.
