What is the best approach to locking certain roles from seeing transactions that contains specific accounts? Does anyone have any idea of how to approach this? I was thinking a beforeLoad, but it doesn’t limit the user from doing searches

not actually a problem solvable via suitescript

you want to use

This is what I’ve said to our consultants, they keep coming back with that it doesn’t work.

as in they dont know how to setup the restrictions on the roles, or they are not flexible enough to implement departments and classes

they need to have known that the question is actually how to restrict by classes/departments instead of accounts

be extremely weary of consultants that dont know how the restrictions work, they have likely never properly setup or worked in a properly restricted account
