·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

Customization of the Customer Center role in NetSuite is essential for tailoring customer access to align with business needs. By adjusting this role, administrators can limit customer capabilities such as creating or editing transactions, ensuring they only interact with certain parts of the system according to defined permissions.

What Can Be Customized in the Customer Center Role?

The following aspects can be customized within the Customer Center role:

  • Access Restrictions: Remove links to specific transactions and records to enhance security or limit functionality.
  • Viewing vs. Editing Permissions: Restrict roles to view-only access instead of allowing creation or editing.
  • Custom Forms for Transactions: Ensure that customers use specific custom forms when submitting sales orders or making payments.

Assigning the Custom Role

After creating a custom Customer Center role, it is crucial to manually assign this role to each customer via the Access subtab on their customer record. This step ensures the defined permissions take effect for each user intended to have restricted or specialized access.

Important Considerations

  • Users with specialized center roles can access only the records relevant to them. They will only see files attached to records that they have been granted access to, along with those marked with Company-Wide Usage or Available Without Login options.
