Restricting Accounts for Roles

You can restrict your accounts by classes, departments, or locations, to control the accounts with which employees work. If you use NetSuite OneWorld, you also can restrict roles by subsidiary. For more information, see Customizing or Creating NetSuite Roles.

For example, Jennifer Sawyer, A/R manager for Wolfe Electronics' Japan location, has her accounts restricted to include only her local bank account. This account appears by default when she accepts customer payments. This increases Sawyer's efficiency and reduces her chances of making data-entry errors.

To restrict access to accounts, you first set restrictions on account records. By default, NetSuite roles do not restrict users by class, department, or location. To restrict accounts, you must set up both account restrictions and role restrictions.
