What should you do to restrict access to a saved search to specific people?

To restrict access to a saved search to specific people, defining the audience is the most effective approach. In NetSuite, audience settings allow you to specify which roles, individual users, groups, or public access can view the saved search. By selecting the appropriate audience within the saved search settings, you ensure that only the designated individuals or roles have access to the information contained in that search. This feature not only enhances data security by safeguarding sensitive information but also allows for tailored access based on business needs.

Other options do not effectively limit access. For instance, checking the public access box would actually make the search available to all users, which goes against the objective of restricting access. Using the default roles generally ensures broader access, as it does not customize the audience to specific people. Publishing the search does not inherently control who can view it; it primarily makes the search available in a shared environment without additional audience restrictions. Therefore, defining the audience is the most precise and secure method to control access to a saved search in NetSuite.
