Resolved: Missing Avalara Permission in NetSuite

in , May 19th, 2025

Problem: Button Not Appearing

One of my NetSuite clients recently went live with Avalara. They came to me with an issue they were having with a lack of permissions. Specifically, they needed to have access to the Retrieve Certificates button. As an Administrator, I was able to push the button and go to the Retrieve Certificates page. In their custom Controller role, I was unable to see the button.

Notice: You Do Not Have Privileges to View This Page

The first step was to give their Controller role the new Avalara permissions under the Custom Records Subtab in the Roles page. Adding these permissions is enough to get the button to appear. However, you will run into this error: 

Solution: Add Custom Roles in NetSuite to the Deployment of Their Scripts

Even with all of the permissions added to the role, you will still run into this issue. This is because custom roles do not default to having permission to Avalara’s custom script deployments. The solution here is that you need to add those custom roles to the deployment of their scripts.

If you are facing a similar error and need support from a NetSuite developer to help you get those custom roles added to the deployment of the scripts, don't hesitate to contact our team!
