2273532 - OData API error: "Recruiting OData API Application Create/Update permission in Admin Center is not enabled" - Recruiting Management

An error occurred while inserting or updating a JobApplication entity or any of its related entities (e.g. JobApplicationAssessmentOrder, JobApplicationBackgroundCheckRequest, etc)  in the recruiting module of SuccessFactors using OData API.

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

1. Make an update call to the successfactors instance using Job Application API entity SFOData.JobApplication or any JobApplication related entities

2. You see the following error in the response:

{
"d" : [
{
"key" : "JobApplication/applicationId=###", "status" : "ERROR", "editStatus" : null, "message" : "Recruiting OData API Application Create/Update permission in Admin Center is not enabled", "index" : 0, "httpCode" : 403, "inlineResults" : null
}
]
}

This is because of the incorrect permissions assigned to the user which is being used to update/insert the application via API call.

Odata permissions are split based on the entity and operation to be executed. For this specific case, the error happens due to missing creation (insert) or update missing permission for the Job Application entity or its related entities.
