Who are role preferences specifically applied to?

Role preferences in NetSuite are specifically applied to both new and existing users. This means that when a role is assigned, any preferences set for that role will be accessible to users who are assigned that role, whether they have previously been assigned different preferences or are new to the system.

This functionality allows for consistent application of settings and configurations across users with the same role, ensuring that they have the same experience and access to features that are relevant to their role. It is particularly helpful in maintaining standardized practices across an organization, enabling new users to start with predefined settings while existing users can seamlessly transition to updated role preferences without disrupting their workflow.

In contrast, the other options suggest limitations on the application of these role preferences, incorrectly implying that only a specific subset of users would benefit from these settings, which does not reflect the comprehensive nature of role preferences in NetSuite.
