Use Searches to Audit Permissions By Employee
In addition to role record searches, you also can run employee record saved searches to gather information about the roles and permissions in your NetSuite account.
For example, you can do an employee record search to obtain a historical list of changes to an employee’s roles.
All employee record fields are available for employee record searches.

Related record fields are also available, see Related Records Fields Available for Advanced Searches. Additionally, the following role fields are available:
-
Role: Provides a role’s name.
-
Role Change: Provides the name of a role to which a change was made.
-
Role Change Action: Provides the action taken on a role.
-
Role Change Date: Provides the date an action took place.
Employee Search Example
You need to see changes made to roles of employees at a specific location.
To gather this information, you would create an Employee record saved search. For the search criteria, you would add a Location filter equaling the office location. For the search results, you would select the Name, Permission Change, Permission Change Date, and Permission Change Level fields.
