Changing Custom Roles
After you customize a role, you may later decide that you want to edit or inactivate it.
If you assign an additional role to a user who is currently logged in to NetSuite, that user will need to log out and log back in to NetSuite to see the newly assigned role. The same is true if you add permissions to an existing role while a user is currently logged in to NetSuite. The user needs to log out and log back in to exercise the new permissions.
To edit a custom role:
-
Go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles.
-
Click Edit next to the role you want to change.
-
On the Role page, make desired changes, including:
-
Click Save.
If you edit a custom role after you've assigned it to employees or vendors, the changes are automatically updated.
A mass update is available to add, remove, or change the level of a permission for multiple custom roles simultaneously. See Mass Updating a Permission on Custom Roles.
