Developer Tool Roles and Permissions in NetSuite

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is essential for using the Commerce developer tools in NetSuite accounts after version 2018.2. Developers must hold a role that provides appropriate permissions to fetch and deploy files using these tools. Ensuring that roles like Administrator or SCDeployer are correctly configured is crucial for operations.

Role Requirements and Permissions

When utilizing the Commerce developer tools, consider the following requirements:

• A role with specific permissions is needed for fetching and deploying files from NetSuite.
• 2FA must be enabled on all NetSuite accounts starting with version 2018.2. Consequently, token-based authentication is required for accessing these capabilities.
• The default roles providing the necessary permissions are Administrator and SCDeployer. If needed, you can create a custom role tailored to your requirements.

Note: If issues arise while using roles like SCDeployer, check that the role possesses the same permissions as your custom role, and ensure it is associated with the relevant script deployment records.
