SAP SuccessFactors Security

SAP SuccessFactors Security is a practical 68-page PDF book from oJAYo.com. Role-based permissions, identity, APIs and data protection, explained for beginners.

SAP SuccessFactors is SAP’s cloud suite for human resources. It holds some of the most sensitive data a company owns: names, addresses, national IDs, salaries, bank details, performance ratings and health-related absences. Because it runs in SAP’s cloud, security works differently from classic SAP ERP.

This book explains, for beginners, how to secure SAP SuccessFactors: the shared-responsibility model, sign-on through SAP Cloud Identity Services, user provisioning, role-based permissions and target populations, field-level protection, proxies and administrator access, API authentication and the retirement of Basic Authentication, integrations, data protection, segregation of duties and access reviews.
