Core Administration Permissions

Access to various features, records, transactions, or reports in NetSuite is primarily controlled by permissions associated with roles that are assigned to end users. This way the user logged in under a given role can be granted full permissions to one record, while having read-only access to another record, and no access to a third record. Unfortunately, not every kind of access in NetSuite can be granted to the user by giving the right permission. Most likely this is because such a permission is missing in the system, and access to this functionality is only available for a user with the Administrator role.

Core Administration Permissions is a feature that can be enabled for a role and gives the role access to a functionality that is currently only accessible to the standard Administrator role. You can use Core Administration Permissions to customize a role so that it behaves almost like the Administrator role, while also restricting access to other areas of NetSuite using role permissions and restrictions. For example, with Core Administration Permissions you can create a role specifically for an IT administrator who is responsible for the general administration of the system, but who should not have access to sensitive employee information.

See Differences Between Core Administration Permissions and Administrator Role for more information.

By default, Core Administration Permissions is not assigned to any roles. The Core Administration Permissions feature is enabled by default. For more information, see Customizing or Creating a Role with Core Administration Permissions.
