Prevent Access to a Custom Record Type through the User Interface

This topic describes how to prevent users from accessing instances of a custom record type through the NetSuite user interface. This setting can enhance security by preventing users from listing, searching, viewing, editing, or creating those records in the user interface.

Clear the Allow UI Access box on a custom record type to prevent users from accessing instances of that type through the NetSuite user interface. Instances can still be accessed programmatically, for example, by using SuiteScript or web services. The Allow UI Access box is checked by default.

When this box is cleared:

• You can't access instances of the custom record type from the NetSuite user interface.

• If you attempt to list, search, view, edit, or create a record of this type in the user interface, the following error message appears: Access to that record type from the user interface isn't allowed.

• The following custom record options are locked as disabled: Allow Mobile Access, Allow Quick Search, Allow Quick Add, and Include in Search Menu.

Important:

You need to take additional steps to control access to custom record data through searches. For more information, see Limiting Search Access to Custom Records.
