Which two methods can be used to restrict access to a file from the file cabinet? (Pick 2)

In NetSuite, access controls for files are managed at the parent folder level. The settings applied to a folder are inherited by all files and subfolders within it. The two primary methods for granularly restricting access among internal, logged-in users are marking the folder as private or restricting it to a specific group. Marking a folder as "Private" limits access exclusively to the employee who owns the folder. Restricting a folder to a "Group" allows access only to users who are part of the specified group (which can be based on role, department, subsidiary, etc.).

A. Mark File as Private: This option is incorrect because the "Private" attribute is set on folders, not on individual files. A file's access is determined by its containing folder's settings.
D. Define Private Group in Audience: The "Audience" tab is typically used for defining the target for content like SuiteApps or SuiteCommerce items, not for direct File Cabinet access control.
E. Clear "Available without login" checkbox: While this does restrict access to logged-in users only, it is a less granular control compared to options B and C, which manage access among logged-in users.

1. Oracle NetSuite Help Center. (2023). SuiteAnswers: Restricting Access to File Cabinet Folders. (SuiteAnswer ID: 9911).

Reference: The article explicitly states

"You can restrict access to a folder in the following ways: By making it private so that only you can access it... By restricting it to a group." This directly supports options B and C as valid methods.

2. Oracle NetSuite Help Center. (2023). SuiteCloud Platform: SuiteScript 2.x Records Browser - Folder.

Reference: The documentation for the Folder record in the SuiteScript Records Browser lists the specific fields that control access. The isprivate field corresponds to the "Private" checkbox (Option B)

and the group field corresponds to the "Restrict to Group" dropdown (Option C)

confirming these are the direct

programmatic methods for restricting folder access.
