If you’re ever trying to figure out the permissions required to access a certain screen perform the following:
- First, navigate to that screen as a user who can access it (like an Administrator), then save that URL.
- Next, try to access the same URL with a user you’re trying to give the permissions to.
- NetSuite will provide an insufficient permissions error that will tell you exactly which missing permission(s) are needed to access that page.
- Update the user with the permissions and repeat until that user can access the page/feature.
Also, be sure to always check the Permissions Documentation in the NetSuite Help Center. It can easily be found by searching NetSuitePermissionUsage.xls in the Help Center. Remember that this document changes with each new NetSuite release.
