Originally created by @mathieumd on GitHub (Aug 28, 2025).

NetBox version

v4.3.6

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Ability to clone permissions.

Use case

NetBox permissions is very granular. So we create more or less precise permissions, which are then assigned to groups.

For example: Tags (Read only) and Tag (Write). But if I want to create a new Tag (Full) (including Delete permission), I would have to create a new permission and manually select Object Types.

If I could clone an existing permission, after cloning I would only have to check the Delete permission.

(Well, my example with Tags is not very good because you only have on or two Object Types, of course. But imagine a permission with many Object Types, like DCIM for instance!)

Database changes

Forgot to mention it has already been debated, but without conclusion, on #4920.
