The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Login as a User without the PS Administrator role
2. On the HCM Classic Homepage, locate the Company Directory pagelet
3. Enter the Employee Name in Search bar and click the Search, "&parent=EXTERNAL_SEARCH" rel="nofollow" , button
4. Note the User is Returned to PS Login Page with the message: An error has occurred. You may attempt to sign in again.
