## Front-End Roles
To use the Fiori Launchpad in SAP S/4HANA, you have to apply the SAP S/4HANA role concept based on business catalogs that are assigned to business roles. For the front-end, the following standard business roles are available for Sourcing and Procurement. You can use these roles as templates for your own roles. For more information, see SAP Fiori Overview .

## Back-End Roles
In the back-end, you have to create roles in transaction PFCG and assign business catalogs to the roles. For more information, go to https:/ /help.sap.com/s4hana\_op\_2021, enter Creating Authorization Roles for Catalogs into the search bar, press Enter , and open the search result with that title. In addition, manual actions are required.
If you have converted your system from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA, you may still be accessing transactions via the SAP Easy Access menu. To support this case, the standard role templates for back-end roles are still available and are listed below:
