Customizing or Creating a Role with Core Administration Permissions
Consider the following when you are customizing or creating a role with Core Administration permissions:
-
Use caution when assigning Core Administration Permissions to a role, because the role will become similar to the standard Administrator role in terms of exclusive administrative privileges.
-
When you assign Core Administration Permissions to a role, you should consider making two-factor authentication required for the role. For more information, see Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
The Core Administration Permissions feature is enabled on all accounts by default.
You can assign Core Administration Permissions to any role, and then configure the role to restrict access to areas of NetSuite.
To assign Core Administration Permissions to a role, you must be logged in using the Administrator role or a role with Core Administration Permissions and Manage Roles permissions assigned.
To assign Core Administration Permissions to a role:
-
Go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles.
-
On the Manage Roles list page, next to the role that you want to add Core Administration Permissions to, click Customize.
-
On the Role record, check the Core Administration Permissions box.
-
To make two-factor authentication required for the role, in the Two-Factor Authentication Required dropdown list, select 2FA authentication required.
-
Click Save.
If you are logged in with a role where two-factor authentication (2FA) is required and you select Not required in the Two-Factor Authentication Required dropdown list, the required 2FA policy supersedes the role setting. This means that two-factor authentication is required for the role even though it says two-factor authentication is not required on the Role record. For more information, see Mandatory Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for NetSuite Access and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
