## 6.3.1.13.9.1  How to Create a New Business Role
Get an overview of how to create a new business role from scratch based on selected business catalogs.
## Context
You use business roles to control the access to your applications. To create a business role, you add one or multiple business catalogs to it. These predefined catalogs contain the actual authorizations that allow users to access apps and allow to define instance based restrictions where necessary. Business catalogs bundle authorizations for a specific business area. Once you have created a business role, you can assign it to multiple business users who perform similar business tasks.
##  Note
Please note that this document describes how to create a business role without a template. For more information on how to create a business role from a template, see the Related information section.
## Process Steps
## Procedure
1. Select the tile of the Maintain Business Roles app on the SAP Fiori launchpad to open the app. On the initial screen, select New .
2. Add general role details, such as business role name, ID and description.
3. On the Assigned Business Catalogs tab, select Add to add the required business catalogs. Select the catalogs according to the business activities that the users with this role need to perform. Select Apply .
##  Note
Some business catalogs require additional dependent catalogs to be assigned to enable access to associated master data information (for example, for business partners or customers). These additionally required catalogs ensure access to all business objects used with the SAP Fiori apps of the main catalog. When you select the business catalogs you want to add to the business role and click Add , a list of dependent business catalogs is displayed. You can then select all the dependencies you want to add.
4. By default, the value help and read access for each business catalog is set to unrestricted and there is no write access. If you want to change these restrictions, select Maintain Restrictions .
5. Maintain instance-based restrictions for all required business objects (following the requirements of your local authorization concept).
6. If required, click Manage Launchpad Space to create a new space or use an existing space. For more information, see the Related information section below.
##  Note
The group-based home page is deprecated. It will be removed in a future version. For new systems (starting with SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2302), the group-based home page is no longer available. It will be replaced with the spaces and pages mode. Therefore, a warning message is shown. It appears when you save a business role without an assigned space. It reminds you that you need to assign a space to make the tiles visible for the users when you have already switched to the spaces and pages mode.
For more information, see SAP Note 2970113 .
7. On the Assigned Business Users tab, you can assign the business users to your new business role. These users will receive the authorizations as defined in the business role.
8. Save the business role to activate it.
##  Note
If you go back to the business roles overview without saving the business role, the business role will automatically be saved in a draft status. You can access it again and edit it from the business roles overview.
