Originally created by @markkuleinio on GitHub (May 16, 2025).

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.3.1

Python Version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Login with a user with superuser status
  2. Remove Staff status (if present) from the user
  3. Go to System - Plugins or System - System

Expected Behavior

Since the user is a superuser, access to the System and Plugins pages should be available.

Observed Behavior

"You do not have permission to access this page." so the superuser is not able to access System or Plugins pages.

Related issues/discussions:
#15754 Removal of staff_only=True from Admin menu items (completed)
#16137 Remove the is_staff field from the user model (open)
#17010 Hide Admin menu section for non-admins (open)

This is due to this check: b6c8502408/netbox/core/views.py (L343-L346)

Given related proposed changes in #16137 and #17010, we should discuss what check is appropriate here instead of is_staff.

This will be addressed in NetBox v4.5 under FR #16137. In the interim, administrators are advised to enable is_staff for all users who require access to these views, regardless of superuser status.
