SAP SuccessFactors
The SAP SuccessFactors connector for Elimity Insights fetches users for an SAP SuccessFactors tenant so you can keep in control of your environment. Follow the instructions below to set up the connector for your environment.
1. Setting up a dedicated user in SAP SuccessFactors
The SAP SuccessFactors connector for Elimity Insights authenticates as an OAuth client application bound to a user. We recommend creating a dedicated user to assign the minimal amount of permissions. Refer to the official documentation for instructions on how to create a new user in SAP SuccesFactors. Note down the newly created user's username.
2. Setting up a dedicated permission role in SAP SuccessFactors
We also recommend creating a dedicated permission role for the newly created user. This permission role should only grant the 'Employee Export' permission. The official documentation contains more information about creating a new permission role in SAP SuccessFactors.
3. Setting up a dedicated permission group in SAP SuccessFactors
To assign the newly created permission role to the newly created user, we recommend using a dedicated static permission group. Refer to the official documentation for instructions in how to create a new static permission group in SAP SuccessFactors.
4. Assigning the permission role in SAP SuccessFactors
Follow the instructions listed in the official documentation to assign the newly created permission role to the newly created permission group.
5. Setting up an OAuth client application in SAP SuccessFactors
Create a new OAuth client application as described in the official documentation. We recommend enabling the 'Bind to Users' option and entering the newly created user's username in the 'User IDs' field. For the 'X.509 Certificate' field, we recommend to generate your own certificate and private key; for example by using the following OpenSSL command:
$ openssl req -days 999 -keyout key.pem -newkey rsa -nodes -out cert.pem -subj '/CN=elimity-insights' -x509Remember to strip out the beginning and ending lines from the certificate contents before pasting into the 'X.509 Certificate' field. Securely store the private key you generated, you will need it to set up the new source in Elimity Insights. Also note down the newly created application's API key.
