When configuring multi-stage application permissions in the SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management job application template, each permission rule must fundamentally define two things: who the permission applies to and what level of access they are granted. The "Operator" (defined by a role name, such as 'R' for Recruiter) specifies the user group receiving the permission. The "Permission type" (defined as either 'read' or 'write') specifies the action the operator can perform on the application fields within a given status. Without these two core components, the permission rule is incomplete and cannot be processed by the system.

B. Applicant type: This is a conditional attribute. Permissions can be differentiated for internal versus external applicants, but it is not a mandatory component for every permission block definition.

D. Status label: Permissions are configured for a specific application status (identified by its ID), but the status label is merely the display name and not a required element within the permission rule itself.

1. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Implementation and Administration Guide: In the section "Feature Permissions in a Multi-Stage Application Environment

" the XML configuration examples for and demonstrate the mandatory nature of the role-name attribute (Operator) and the type attribute (Permission type: read/write). The guide shows that a permission cannot be defined without specifying both the role and the access type. (Document available on the SAP Help Portal).

2. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Job Application Template Configuration: The official documentation for the application-template.xml specifies the structure for permissions. The element

which grants access to a specific field

requires the type attribute to be set to "read" or "write". This element is nested within a element

which requires the role-name attribute to be defined. This confirms that both the operator (role) and permission type are essential definitions. (Document available on the SAP Help Portal).
