Create Roles {#partner-qsg-setup-portfolio-roles}
=================================================

Before you begin creating roles, verify that you have:

* Assigned a portfolio administrator. See [Assign a Portfolio Administrator](/docs/vas/en-us/partner-portfolio-qsg/quick-start/all/na/partner-portfolio-qsg/partner-qsg-gs/partner-qsg-gs-portfolio-administrator.md "").
* Assembled your operations team. See [Assemble Your Operations Team](/docs/vas/en-us/partner-portfolio-qsg/quick-start/all/na/partner-portfolio-qsg/partner-qsg-gs/partner-qsg-gs-deployment-team.md "").
  *Roles* enable you to give a user access to specific services in the `Business Center`, such as `Reports` and Transaction Search. The `Business Center` offers default roles, but you can also create new roles that support your business model. Roles must also be given a set of *permissions* for each service. Permissions determine a role's duties and the level of access to a service.  
  Follow these steps to create roles in your partner portfolio account:

1. Log in to your `Business Center` test or production account.
   * **Test:** [`https://businesscentertest.visaacceptance.com`](https://businesscentertest.visaacceptance.com/ebc2/ "")
   * **Production:** [`https://businesscenter.visaacceptance.com`](https://businesscenter.visaacceptance.com/ebc2/ "")  
     If have a branded URL, use the URL provided in your confirmation email.
2. On the left navigation panel, choose ![](/content/dam/new-documentation/documentation/en-us/common/images/ebc/ebc-icon-accnt-mgmt.svg/jcr:content/renditions/original) Account Management \> Roles.  
   The Roles page appears.
3. Click **Create Role**.  
   The Role Editor page appears.
4. Enter the role name and description.

   > After a role is created, you cannot change its name.

5. To add a permission, take one or more of these actions:
   * To include all of the available permissions, click Select All.
   * To search for a particular permission, type the name in the search field, then choose permissions from the results.  
     To restore to the full list of permissions, clear the text in the search field.
   * To choose all permissions within a specific group, check the box next to the group name. For example, Reporting Permissions.
   * To view available permissions within a specific group, click the down arrow to expand the group, and then choose one or more permissions.
   * The permissions you choose appear in the Selected column. Click the Remove icon next to any permission to remove it.
6. By default, roles are inherited across the hierarchy. Choosing the Restrict Role Inheritance limits access of the role to only that organization.
7. When you are done, click Save.
8. Assign resources as planned in your `Business Center` role strategy.

#### AFTER COMPLETING THE TASK

After successfully creating a role, you can begin creating user accounts. See [Create Users](/docs/vas/en-us/partner-portfolio-qsg/quick-start/all/na/partner-portfolio-qsg/partner-qsg-setup-portfolio/partner-qsg-setup-portfolio-proc.md "").
