hello, I am looking into creating an Admin-like role that has only VIEW access to all the records. SuiteAnswer 70925 mentions a bundle id that would let me install this role, however the bundle does not seem to exist anymore. Does anyone have any other suggestion on how to approach this?

I’ve had a similar frustration and I’ve had an open request with NetSuite about this for the past year. Even followed up with them as recently as yesterday

you can always just manually create a role where you add every permission but set them all to view. not fun but won't take more than an hour.

out of the box CEO(hands off) role would be the closest one - try modifying that to your needs.

the CEO role is missing a lot of transaction types though, and netsuite doesn't make it easy to figure out which ones it's missing
The big issue with creating your own custom role is that as your enable more features in netsuite, the new related permissions obviously won't get added to the role. NetSuite just makes it really difficult to have a READ ALL role 😞

tell me about it, come to think of it I do have some custom admin roles in my dev account which are read only and more extensive permission than CEO (Hands off) role. Let me bundle it and will post the bundle number here

Yeah, we've done the same thing for our customers. The issue is that our customers often have features enabled in their environments that can't be enabled in a dev environment, and so there is literally no way for us to put the perfect READ ALL role in a bundle
I think the best option is to have a daily/weekly script that is executed as an admin that queries all available permissions and applies them to the role

Bundle ID 376181
that's a great idea
