## 6.3.1.13.9.2  How to Create a Business Role from a Template
Get an overview of how to create a business role from a template.
## Context
Instead of creating a business role from scratch, you can also create it from a business role template.
##  Note
A business role template is defined by SAP to make it easier for you to find the business catalogs that might be relevant for the corresponding role in your company. Usually, the business role templates have a very broad job profile to show all options. SAP does not recommend using them in their full scope because the business catalogs might conflict with the roles in your company. Instead, adjust them to the tasks of the role in your company by choosing only the relevant business catalogs. We also recommend that you only use business role templates for testing and not for generating productive roles.
If changes to the template were included in an upgrade, the Business Role Templates app informs you about these changes and how they affect your business roles. For more information, see Business Role Templates (Related Information).
When you create a role based on a template, as a default the read and value help access are unrestricted, and write access is not granted. You can change this and define for each field to which a catalog provides access what a user is allowed to see and to edit. This allows you to shape your business roles in a very detailed way. For example, you can create two roles that comprise the same catalogs, but role 1 is restricted to work with data for the US, and role 2 is restricted to work only with data for Germany.
## 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 Create From Template .
2. Select the required template. Define the ID and the name of the new business role. If required, go to the Assigned Launchpad Spaces tab, click Add , select Use Predefined Space , select the required launchpad space and click Assign Space (for more information, see the Related Information section below). Click OK .
3. A template already contains one or more business catalogs that the business role will be assigned to. Adjust the displayed template to your requirements, for example, change the general role details, and add or delete catalogs.
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. 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.
7. 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 is automatically saved in a draft status. You can access it again and edit it from the business roles overview.
