- The "Add" button is greyed out when attempting to edit business role.
Environment
- SAP Marketing Cloud Edition
Reproducing the Issue

- Go to Maintain Business Roles App.
- Open a derived business role.

Resolution
• SAP‑delivered business roles can be modified for assignment to business users during the initial system setup. These roles are maintained exclusively by SAP.
• To allow adjustments based on business requirements, create custom business roles using the available SAP templates.
• Custom business roles can be changed only at the level of the Leading Business Role. Any Derived Business Role inherits its structure from the leading role and cannot be modified directly.
• Business roles should be defined and maintained in a development system and subsequently transported to the production system, rather than being changed locally in production.
