How to Grant Non-Administrator Roles Permission to Delete Fixed Assets in NetSuite
NetSuite users can extend fixed asset deletion capabilities beyond the Administrator role by adjusting system setup permissions for specific user roles.
Short answer
To enable non-Administrator roles to delete fixed assets in NetSuite, navigate to Fixed Assets > Setup > System Setup > General. Check the "Allow Asset Value Editing" box and select the desired roles under the "User Roles" box, then save. This grants access to both the "Delete Assets" setup option and the "Delete" action on asset records.
Scenario
By default, the ability to delete fixed assets in NetSuite is often restricted to the Administrator role. Organizations frequently require other specific user roles to have the necessary permissions to manage and delete fixed assets. This limitation can hinder operational efficiency when non-administrator users need to perform asset cleanup or correction tasks.
Solution
To grant non-Administrator roles permission to delete fixed assets, follow these steps:
Navigate to Fixed Assets > Setup > System Setup > General.
Tick the Allow Asset Value Editing checkbox, if it is not already checked.
Select the specific role(s) that require this permission under the User Roles box.
Save the changes.Once these settings are applied, the selected role(s) will gain access to the Delete Assets option within the Setup menu and the Delete function available from the Action dropdown on the Asset record itself.
