Advanced Employee Permissions and Standard NetSuite Roles
The following table highlights which Advanced Employee Permissions are automatically assigned to standard NetSuite roles. It also provides the default access levels and restrictions for each. The Employee Administration and Employee Access Tab permissions aren't automatically assigned to any standard roles. If required, you can manually add these permissions to a role.
When you assign permissions, be aware that:
-
If you change the access level of the Employee Self permission to Edit, employees can make changes to the fields exposed with this permission. This includes their compensation information. You should use the default access level View, however, if required, you can create a custom permission. For more information, see Custom Advanced Employee Permissions.
-
If you change the access level of the following permissions to Edit, employees can create employees in NetSuite:
-
Employee Public
-
Employee Confidential
-
Employee Compensation
-
Employee Record Full
-
Employee Administration
-
The standard NetSuite Lists > Employees permission takes precedence over any of the employee permissions in Advanced Employee Permissions. This change is a step in separating the legacy permission model from the Advanced Employee Permissions feature. The Lists > Employees permission gives full-record access to employee records. You should review the standard and custom roles in your account that include the Lists > Employees permission. Ensure that all users with these roles have full access to employee records. Users who shouldn't have full access to employee records should be assigned a role that doesn't include the Lists > Employees permission. If you have the Administrator role, you can create alternate custom roles for these users. For more information, see Setting Employee Access for Advanced Employee Permissions, Creating Custom Advanced Employee Permissions, and Custom Restrictions for Advanced Employee Permissions.
