NSC | Restrict Custom Record Access by Department, Class, or Location

Use Case: Organizations may need to limit access to custom records based on a user’s department, class, or location to improve data security and ensure users only view records relevant to their role. 

NetSuite allows this by combining custom segment fields with role restrictions. 

How It Works: 

  1. In the custom record, create a field with the following settings:  
  2. Type: List/Record  
  3. Source List: Department, Class, or Location  
  4. Enable the Apply Role Restrictions checkbox on the custom record.  
  5. Open the applicable Role record and go to the Restrictions subtab.  
  6. Set the appropriate segment restriction option:  
  • Own, Subordinates, and Unassigned  
  • or
