Fiori & UX
What is Business Role?
An SAP-delivered or custom role template, such as SAP_BR_AP_ACCOUNTANT, that bundles Fiori catalogs and spaces for a job function.
In S/4HANA on-premise, business roles are PFCG roles generated from SAP templates; in Public Edition they are maintained in the Maintain Business Roles app. They determine both app visibility and authorizations. Test users should be assigned business roles matching real job profiles.
