# Define the network function details

Create a network function record in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application. You can manage the network functions such as 5Physical Network Function \(PNF\), Virtual Network Function \(VNF\) and so on.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_ni\_core.inventory\_admin, sn\_ni\_core.inventory\_agent, sn\_ni\_core.telco\_inventory\_catalog\_manager
