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.

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

When you clear this box:

• You can't list, search, view, edit, or create instances of the custom record type through the NetSuite user interface. Attempts to do so display the following error: Access to that record type from the user interface isn't permitted.

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

Important:

Clearing the Allow UI Access box doesn't restrict programmatic access. To control access to custom record data through searches, you must take additional steps. For more information, see Limiting Search Access to Custom Records.
