NetSuite: How to Create a Customizable Administrator Role
Learn how to install a bundle or enable a feature to create a modified administrator role with customizable permissions in NetSuite.
Short answer
To create a customizable administrator role in NetSuite, install the "Administrator Role - Customizable" bundle (ID 396121) or utilize the "Core Administration Permissions" feature. This provides a role with administrator-like permissions that can be modified to suit specific business requirements without altering the standard Administrator role.
Scenario
Organizations often require an administrator-level role in NetSuite that can be customized to restrict certain permissions or add specific access not available in the standard Administrator role. Directly modifying the standard Administrator role is not possible, necessitating an alternative solution for creating a flexible, high-privilege role.
Solution
To create a customizable administrator role in NetSuite, organizations can install a specific bundle designed for this purpose or enable a relevant feature. The recommended approach is to install the "Administrator Role - Customizable" bundle, which is identified by bundle ID 396121. This bundle provides a role that simulates the standard Administrator role, allowing its permissions to be modified to meet specific business requirements. Alternatively, the "Core Administration Permissions" feature can be utilized to achieve a similar outcome, providing a foundation for a customizable administrator-like role.
