Create or modify a business role. Modeled after the organizational hierarchy for
applications access, business roles enable you to provision applications to your employees.
Depending on their job function, employees need different applications to perform their
work. For example, the applications that a product designer requires differs from that of a
software engineer. Each business role is mapped to one or more Okta groups, and you can
create default business roles and parent-child hierarchies to provision applications based
on job function, geography, and so on.
