NetBox version

v4.4.2

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Disallow the reassignment of an existing API token to a new user.

Use case

While the reassignment of a token to a new user allows for a change in ownership without replacing tokens on API clients, it also presents a moderate security concern. Prohibiting this would improve security of the NetBox APIs overall.
