D: The View access level does not allow printing records.
Correct Answer:
B. The Edit access level does not allow deleting records.
Explanation

NetSuite uses a hierarchical permission model with four main access levels: View, Create, Edit, and Full. Each level includes the capabilities of the levels below it. The 'Edit' access level allows a user to view, create, and modify existing records. However, the ability to delete records is exclusively granted by the 'Full' access level, which is the highest tier. Therefore, a role with 'Edit' access for a specific record type can make changes to that record but cannot delete it from the system.

Why Incorrect

A. The 'Create' access level is lower than 'Edit'. It allows users to create new records and view existing ones, but it does not grant permission to modify existing records.
C. The 'Partial' access level is a special permission level, not part of the standard hierarchy. Its function varies depending on the specific permission (e.g., allowing a user to edit only their own time entries).
D. The 'View' access level allows a user to see a record. This capability generally includes the ability to print the record, as printing is a function of viewing, not modifying, data.

1. NetSuite Help Center. (2023). NetSuite Permissions. SuiteAnswers ID: NetSuite Permissions.

This document defines the standard access levels. It explicitly states:

Edit: "User can create, view, and edit existing records or transactions."

Full: "User can create, view, edit, and delete existing records or transactions."

This directly supports that 'Edit' access does not include the 'delete' capability, making option B correct. It also refutes option A, as 'Create' is a distinct, lower level than 'Edit'.

2. NetSuite Help Center. (2023). Setting Permissions on the Custom Role Page. SuiteAnswers ID: Custom Role Page.

This guide for administrators details the permission levels available when creating or customizing roles. It reinforces the distinction between the 'Edit' and 'Full' levels, where deletion is only available at the 'Full' level. It also describes the 'Partial' level as having a "special meaning that varies by permission," which invalidates the generalized statement in option C.
