NetSuite (SuitePeople)

This guide explains how to set up SuitePeople User Roles to obtain Access Tokens through Token-Based Authentication. These tokens authenticate requests to NetSuite APIs, making it easier to integrate NetSuite with other applications. Follow these steps to enable specific SuitePeople User Roles to generate Access Tokens and securely access NetSuite APIs.

Step 1: Log into your NetSuite account as an administrator.

Step 2: Navigate to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles.

Step 3: Click on New to create a new role.

Step 4: Assign a name to the role (e.g., Integration Role).

Step 5: Under the Permissions tab, select the access permissions you wish to grant to this role. Ensure the role has the necessary permissions to perform the tasks required for the integration.

For more information on NetSuite permission levels, refer to the Access Levels page in the NetSuite SuitePeople Help Center here.
