SuccessFactors configuration

You'll need a SuccessFactors administrator to configure the OData API access and create an OAuth client. See your SuccessFactors integration guide for details.

Troubleshooting

Authentication fails

  • Check that the OAuth client is correctly configured in SuccessFactors Provisioning
  • Verify the SAML certificate hasn't expired

Missing employees

  • Check the API user's permission role assignments in SuccessFactors
  • Ensure the OData API includes the Employee Central entities
