NetSuite Account Access

Whoever signs up for a NetSuite account is automatically assigned the Administrator role. The user with the Administrator role has full privileges to all aspects of the system and usually sets up account access by assigning roles to users.

• The first step for setting up account access is to create roles. See NetSuite Roles Overview to understand the different types of roles, as well as how to create and manage them.

• After you set up roles, you can give users access and assign roles. See NetSuite Users Overview for information about how to manage different types of users and monitor users' login activity using the Login Audit Trail.

• NetSuite has a complex permission structure with permissions divided into different types and different access levels. See NetSuite Permissions Overview to understand the different types of permissions and how to enable the Global Permissions feature. Please note that you should avoid using the Global Permissions feature. For more information, see Using the Global Permissions Feature.

• You can enable the NetSuite’s Advanced Employee Permissions feature which will give you more flexibility and control over the employee information that users with certain roles can access in NetSuite. When this feature is enabled, users with the Administrator role can customize or create roles to use the Employee Self, Employee Public, Employee Confidential, Employee Compensation, Employee System Access, Employee Record Full, and Employee Administration permissions. For more information, see Advanced Employee Permissions Overview. Users with the Administrator role can also create custom employee permissions and custom restrictions when this feature is enabled. For more information, see Custom Advanced Employee Permissions and Custom Restrictions for Advanced Employee Permissions.

• In addition to permissions, NetSuite has role restrictions that control which record instances of a record type can a role access. See Permissions and Restrictions.
