Background documentationAuthorizations in Performance Management (Objective Setting and Appraisals)

 

Authorization objects for the Performance Management application component are describe below.

Note Note

We use the name of the Performance Management to mean the same as the name Objective Setting and Appraisals. Both names correspond to the technical application component ID PA-PD-PM.

End of the note.

Authorizations for personnel appraisal implemented in Human Resources have a special significance. The Performance Management application component uses objects from the following components, among others:

  • Organizational Management

  • Personnel Development

  • Training and Event Management

  • SAP Learning Solution

The Performance Management application component is therefore subject to the general authorization checks in the corresponding application component. In Performance Management, the object type Person (P) continues to be of central importance since this object type can be used for appraisers and appraisees (particularly for personnel appraisals). This means that standard checks for people in the SAP system are also valid for Performance Management. Furthermore, Performance Management has additional authorization aspects for controlling authorizations in this application that are realized using specific authorization object and authorization controlling in the Customizing settings for the appraisal template.
