1. If the resources aren't already in the catalog, and you're an administrator or a catalog owner, you can [add resources to a catalog](entitlement-management-catalog-create.md#add-resources-to-a-catalog).

* Groups can be cloud-created Microsoft 365 Groups or cloud-created Azure AD security groups. Groups that originate in an on-premises Active Directory can't be assigned as resources because their owner or member attributes can't be changed in Azure AD. To give users access to an application that uses AD security group memberships, create a new group in Azure AD, configure [group writeback to AD](../hybrid/how-to-connect-group-writeback-v2.md), and [enable that group to be written to AD](../enterprise-users/groups-write-back-portal.md). Groups that originate in Exchange Online as Distribution groups can't be modified in Azure AD either.

* Applications can be Azure AD enterprise applications, which include both software as a service (SaaS) applications and your own applications integrated with Azure AD. If your application has not yet been integrated with Azure AD, see [govern access for applications in your environment](identity-governance-applications-prepare.md) and [integrate an application with Azure AD](identity-governance-applications-integrate.md).

## Add resource roles
5054

A resource role is a collection of permissions associated with a resource. Resources can be made available for users to request if you add resource roles from each of the catalog's resources to your access package. You can add resource roles that are provided by groups, teams, applications, and SharePoint sites. When a user receives an assignment to an access package, they'll be added to all the resource roles in the access package.

If you don't want users to receive all of the roles, then you'll need to create multiple access packages in the catalog, with separate access packages for each of the resource roles. You can also mark the access packages as [incompatible](entitlement-management-access-package-incompatible.md) with each other so users can't request access to access packages that would give them excessive access.

If you want some users to receive different roles than others, then you'll need to create multiple access packages in the catalog, with separate access packages for each of the resource roles. You can also mark the access packages as [incompatible](entitlement-management-access-package-incompatible.md) with each other so users can't request access to access packages that would give them excessive access.
