Creating roles in NetSuite is a fundamental task for administrators to tailor user access and permissions within the system. However, when attempting to create roles from scratch, administrators may encounter limitations, particularly when selecting center types such as Customer Center, Employee Center, Partner Center, or Vendor Center.
Upon navigating to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles and clicking “New” to create a role, administrators find that the dropdown menu for Center Type does not offer options for Customer Center, Employee Center, Partner Center, or Vendor Center.
This limitation is intentional and built into the NetSuite system. Roles associated with Customer Center, Employee Center, Partner Center, or Vendor Center have predefined permissions and access levels tailored to the specific functionalities of each center. As a result, customization options for these roles are restricted to adjusting access levels within the predefined settings.
If administrators seek to create roles aligned with the functionalities of Customer Center, Employee Center, Partner Center, or Vendor Center, they must customize the standard roles already available for these centers. By modifying permissions and access levels within these existing roles, administrators can tailor user access to suit the specific requirements of their organization.
Streamlining role creation in NetSuite requires administrators to understand the limitations associated with selecting center types when creating roles from scratch. By leveraging the customization options available within the predefined roles for Customer Center, Employee Center, Partner Center, or Vendor Center, administrators can effectively manage user access and permissions within the system to meet the needs of their organization.
