Activate and associate the Manage order operations agent on the Business Portal so your customers can use it to submit order cases autonomously using Now Assist.

## Before you begin

Activate and enable a chat assistant such as Now Assist in Virtual Agent to use in the Business Portal. For more information, see [Configuring assistants overview](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-now-assist-va&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-conversational-interfaces&ft:locale=en-US).

[Role masking](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=aia-role-masking&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US) enables users to limit the roles and privileges of AI agents during tool execution. AI agents that get installed with Now Assist applications are assigned pre-defined roles. If you select Users with specific roles for user access, you must configure the security controls to include these roles. Data access settings must also include these roles. For the instructions to change the security controls, see [Define security controls for an AI agent](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=define-sec-controls-aia&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).
