This notification is to inform you of the NetSuite 2020.1 release changes that affect roles with the Lists > Employees permission when the Advanced Employee Permissions feature is enabled.
What is Changing?
As of 2020.1, the Lists > Employees permission takes precedence over any of the employee permissions that come with Advanced Employee Permissions. This has been done as part of a continuous effort to separate the legacy permission model from Advanced Employee Permissions.
The Lists > Employees permission gives full record access to the employee record, where Advanced Employee Permissions allows you to control which fields and sublists on the employee record are available to the role.
Recommended Actions
Review the standard roles in your account that include the Lists > Employees permission to make sure these roles should have full access to the employee record. If there is a role that should not have full access to the employee record, contact your NetSuite administrator. They can create a custom role that does not include the Lists > Employees permission. Instead, they can use Advanced Employee Permissions for more granular field level permission control of the employee record.

If you require assistance or more information, please contact NetSuite Support.
