Solution

The following RFC function modules have been enforced with authority checks:

  • HRRCF_MDL_QA_DOC_COMPLETE (if the right candidate is trying to access the activity)
  • HR_RCF_ASSIGN_EE_TO_CANDIDATE (if the user is authorized for candidate maintenance)

Reason and prerequisites

Missing authority checks.
