On a custom record there are multiple record fields. I limited the access level to the custom record, however the user was still able to add or edit the field values on the record. Do i also need to restrict access on the fields?

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** Yes, you need to restrict access to the fields as well. In NetSuite, permissions are granular and can be controlled at the field level. If a user has access to a record, they can see the fields on that record unless those fields are specifically restricted. To prevent users from adding or editing values in a custom field, you can set the field's access level to 'View'. This will allow users to see the field but not modify it. If you want to completely hide the field from certain users, you can set the access level to 'None'. However, note that the owner of a custom record always has full access to it in any role. This means that if you are the owner of a custom record and you are testing the permissions, you will still be able to access the record even if you have set the access level to 'None'. To properly test the permissions, you should either change the owner of the custom record or create a test user without the custom record permission. Also, if a custom record is used as a list, users will see the 'plus' button to add new records if they have access to create a record. To prevent this, you can set the access to the record being listed to 'View'. Remember, these restrictions need to be set at the role level. You can do this by going to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles, and then editing the permissions for the role in question.
