Claim:
A method for providing a service-to-role assignment to launch application services through a role-based computer system, the method comprising the following steps: providing a master table with a first assignment of application services to roles, and with a second assignment of first service attributes to the application services, wherein the first service attributes belong to a first type, the application services each executable by a processor, the application services each configured based on the master table, a reference table, and a target table; providing the reference table with first reference attributes associated with the first type, the reference table used to configure, based on the first type, a system comprising the application services; for each application service in the master table, comparing the first service attributes of the master table with the first reference attributes of the reference table; when the comparison results in a match, forwarding, for each role, service representations from the master table into the target table, the content of the target table representing the service-to-role assignment to launch the application services; defining the first type as at least one of an industry branch and a country; combining a first table comprising the first assignment of application services to roles and a second table comprising the second assignment of first service attributes to the application services, wherein the combined first and second tables form the master table; and wherein in the step providing the reference table, second reference attributes are provided that belong to a second type; wherein in the comparing step, the second service attributes are compared with second reference attributes of the reference table; wherein in the forwarding step, for each role, service representations from the master table are copied into the target table.
