How to Change the Owner of a Saved Search in NetSuite?
Changing NetSuite saved search ownership requires administrator permissions.
Short answer
To change the owner of a NetSuite saved search, administrator access is required. The current search owner cannot transfer ownership without administrator permissions. The only workarounds are for an administrator to perform the change or to create a duplicate search under the new owner.
Scenario
Users often encounter situations where they need to change the owner of an existing NetSuite saved search. This typically arises when an employee leaves the company, or when a search needs to be managed by a different department or individual. The challenge is determining the necessary permissions to perform this ownership transfer.
Solution
Changing the owner of a NetSuite saved search is a restricted action. Even the current owner of a saved search cannot change its ownership unless they also possess administrator privileges.The available methods to change saved search ownership are:
An administrator directly changes the ownership of the existing saved search.
A new saved search is created as a duplicate, with the desired new owner.
