Configuring NetSuite role permissions for automated executive dashboard access requires careful setup of OAuth authentication, custom roles, and department-level access controls while maintaining enterprise security.
Here’s how to streamline permission configuration for executive dashboard automation while preserving your existing security model and access controls.
Simplify NetSuite permission management for executive dashboards using Coefficient
Coefficient respects existing NetSuite role permissions while providing simplified OAuth setup that eliminates ongoing permission maintenance. Executive dashboard data automatically reflects each user’s subsidiary, department, and record-level access rights without compromising security.
How to make it work
Step 1. Configure OAuth application with appropriate permissions.
Your NetSuite Admin sets up the OAuth connection with SuiteAnalytics Workbook permissions, REST Web Services enabled, and custom role creation capabilities. This one-time configuration eliminates ongoing permission maintenance while handling 7-day token refresh automatically.
Step 2. Deploy RESTlet script with role-based access controls.
Install the pre-built RESTlet script with company-wide permissions that automatically inherit user-specific access rights. The script provides update notifications for maintenance without manual intervention while maintaining proper data governance.
Step 3. Set up user-specific permissions for dashboard data access.
Configure role-based permissions that align with existing NetSuite user management. Users only access data they’re authorized to view, with automatic enforcement of subsidiary, department, and record-level restrictions through the dashboard connection.
Step 4. Enable automated refresh with security controls.
Set up timezone-based scheduling for dashboard updates while maintaining audit trails for data access. The system provides complete logging of refresh activities and user access patterns for regulatory compliance and security monitoring.
Step 5. Configure external URL settings for secure API communication.
Establish secure communication endpoints that support multiple subsidiaries and departments while eliminating the need for shared service accounts. This approach scales with existing NetSuite user management and provides proper access control audit trails.
