<@U019BCQD1HV> you could do a Role saved search

I was hoping for something that could indicate that the calling user has read access to a specific record. This might vary by role, and the suitelet handles requests for a number of different record types.

Yup, you can use a saved search to get that information. You could also search by user and join to role, but then you will have to handle logic for users with multiple roles

```var role = runtime.getCurrentUser().role;

var searchObj = search.create({
    type: search.Type.ROLE,
    filters: [
        ["internalid", <http://search.Operator.IS|search.Operator.IS>, role],
        "AND",
        ["permission", search.Operator.ANYOF, "TRAN_CUSTINVC"]
    ],
    columns: [
        search.createColumn({ name: "level"}),
    ]
});```

You would probably need to create a map between record type and permission names

In a quick test, admin role (internal id 3) doesn't come up in the search so make sure your code accounts for that
