Consumer Key
Consumer Secret
Token ID

Connectivity PlugIn ID
Parser Plugin ID
This guide will walk you through finding or creating those credentials within NetSuite.
Prerequisites
Please ensure you have Administrator permissions in your company's NetSuite instance, or someone has shared their access with you.
Instructions
Step 1: Finding your NetSuite Account ID
Enter your NetSuite Account ID in the Linking flow
This is the combination of letters or numbers before "app.netsuite.com" of the URL
If your URL is "https://7600508.app.netsuite.com...", your NetSuite Account ID is 7600508
Step 2: Enable SuiteCloud features
Open the NetSuite Enable Features Page
Under SuiteCloud, check the following boxes then click save

Step 3: Install the NetSuite Permissions bundle
Install one of the Permissions Bundles below that fits your use case
Merge Read-only Permissions Bundle will allow for read-only access
Merge Full Permissions Bundle will allow for read-and-write access
It may take up to 5 minutes to install and you may be re-routed to the Installed Bundles page when the installation is complete
The bundle creates a role that can authenticate to NetSuite's API. For a full list of the role's permissions, see this article. The permissions may be updated, or a separate Role may be used, but doing so could result in permission issues.
Step 4: Assign a user to the role
Open Manage Users
Either select a user to assign the Role to or create a new user
Most users use an existing user (often yourself) so that an additional NetSuite seat is not consumed
To create a new user, however, go to Lists > Employees > Employees > New. Create the user and grant them NetSuite access by going to the Access tab in the Employee record and select 'Give Access'
In the user's employee record, click Edit and go to the Access tab. In your Access tab, go to Roles and select the Role you imported through the Import Bundle process in Step 3
Click Save to apply these changes
Step 5: Create an integration to obtain your Consumer Key and Secret
Navigate to Integration and create an integration with the following details
NAME: any value
CONCURRENCY LIMIT: leave blank

Ensure the below details are selected and click Save
