NetSuite Admin Tip | How to Audit User Roles and Permissions Effectively
Managing user access is one of the most important responsibilities for NetSuite administrators. Over time, roles can accumulate unnecessary permissions, creating security risks, segregation-of-duties concerns, and reporting inconsistencies.
This article reviews practical ways administrators can audit roles and permissions more effectively using standard NetSuite tools and best practices.
Key Tools for Auditing Roles and Permissions
1. Use Show Role Permission Differences
This feature allows administrators to compare:
- Standard roles vs custom roles
- Two custom roles
- Permission level differences
2. Review Permissions by Access Level
NetSuite permissions use four primary access levels:
- View
- Create
- Edit
- Full
Administrators should pay close attention to:
- Full access permissions
