This article is relevant if you are developing NetSuite RESTLets and you are needing to frequently change your user role.
Background
When developing NetSuite RESTLets, it’s generally easier to work with a tool to exercise the NetSuite REST Endpoint. My favorite tool is called Postman offered as a chrome extension as well as a MAC application. You may experience following message when you call your REST endpoint after you change roles:
{
"error": {
"code": "SESSION_TIMED_OUT",
"message": "Your session has timed out. Please re-enter your information and try again."
}
}
Resolving the SESSION TIMED OUT Error Message
The basic way to resolve the timeout is to block your browser cookies from the host RESTLet system. For example, if you are developing against the sandbox, add a cookie exception to rest.sandbox.netsuite.com
Here is a quick 1:30 video that illustrates the challenge and how to resolve it.
