Restrict Roles from Creating Records using Workflow

On the Help Guide, these are the Permission Levels that could be set on a Role for a record:

 CREATE - User can create new and view existing files.
 EDIT - User has access to create new, view existing, and edit existing files. The user cannot delete existing files.
 FULL - User has access to create new files and view, edit, and delete existing files.

Thus, having the EDIT only mode is still an Enhancement and this is filed under Issue# 80667- " Ability to have the "edit" permission without having the create permission on a record within NetSuite"

This can be done via script by restricting a User's action on beforeLoad of via Workflow.
