How to Restrict Access to Standard NetSuite List Views for User Roles
Learn how to manage user access to standard NetSuite list views by configuring role permissions and custom list view settings.
Short answer
To restrict access to standard NetSuite list views, which cannot be inactivated directly, administrators should modify the relevant user role. This involves navigating to the role's permissions, adding the specific custom list view, and then marking it as "Restricted" to control visibility for users assigned to that role.
Scenario
NetSuite users often encounter situations where standard list views are visible to roles that should not have access to them. Since these standard searches cannot be directly inactivated, a method is required to prevent specific user roles from viewing sensitive or irrelevant data presented in these lists.
Solution
To restrict access to standard NetSuite list views for a specific user role, follow these steps:
Navigate to the desired user role for modification.
Access the Permissions subtab. Within this subtab, locate the relevant categories such as 'Lists' or 'Custom Record' where list view permissions are managed.
Add the specific custom list view that corresponds to the standard search you wish to restrict.
Once the custom list view is added, select the Restricted option for that entry. This action will limit the visibility of the associated standard list view for users assigned to this role.
