Is it necessary to reserve a NetSuite license for use in Foundry? It looks as though we can just use the token authentication to ingest data, thus making it unnecessary to provide a NetSuite user account, but I’m not 100% sure this is the case.
Hi @rblanco
Authentication depends on your connection method to NetSuite.
While NetSuite Analytics only supports username/password, NetSuite SuiteTalk and NetSuite SuiteQL indeed support token-based authentication (see here).
However, even with token-based authentication, permissions are controlled via a “role” with specific permissions that need to be assigned to a user. So, while you don’t explicitly need to create a “service user,” you will need to assign this role to an existing user. This user will then have the same permissions you want to grant Foundry, which may not always be the desired setup.
