08/29/2023, 2:59 PMHere's what I found, in case anyone wants to know the answer. NetSuite's documentation says "Be aware that when a script triggers other scripts, the cascading scripts will run as the role of the initial triggering script's role, not the role specified on the cascaded script's role."

Seth Duda
08/29/2023, 3:00 PMIf the user event is setup to run as a specific role, the user event will run as that role, regardless of the role the suitelet is running as.

08/29/2023, 3:01 PMIf the suitelet has a role defined, and the user event is setup to run as "current role", the user event will run as the role the suitelet is running as.

08/29/2023, 4:45 PMprior to the new APIs for invoking scripts programmatically, a UE invoking a Suitelet would be viewed as an independent request, following the normal rules for Suitelets. I'm not sure what the new APIs do in regards to roles/identity.
