Symptom
Section permissions are not enforced in a performance form.
E.g. User can read/edit a section that has section permission type 'Hidden' for that user.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management

field/section permissions for all other roles in the route map - for example, allowing users to see hidden

Note: While the Originator and User roles can be used in the form route map, they cannot be granted
field/section/button permissions.
