Removal of Unsupported Permissions in NetSuite 2025.2

Starting in NetSuite 2025.2, the permissions associated with certain standard roles have been updated, leading to the removal or modification of some access levels. This change is particularly important for administrators and developers who manage customized roles, as it may require immediate action to ensure compliance and proper functionality within the system.

Overview of Changes

In this release, several permissions available to standard roles have been scrutinized. The objective is to streamline access for users by removing unsupported permissions and adjusting access levels. As a result:

• Some permissions are no longer available to specific roles.
• Others have had their access level modified.

Organizations should be proactive in evaluating the impact of these changes on any customized roles. Admins should take note that unsupported permissions will still appear assigned but should not be relied upon for expected functionalities.

To check which permissions have been marked as unsupported for a customized role:

1. Navigate to the customized role in NetSuite.
