Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.x
  • NetBox version: 2.6.5

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new user.
  2. Set the user as Active in the djanog admin
  3. Ensure the user has no permissions or groups added
  4. Login to site
  5. All links on the home.html page is blocked out, and all other links give 403 to list/detail/edit views.
  6. User can still use global search page and still scrape out some information that it was not suppoed to have due to no View permissions on any views. http://localhost/search/?q=dsa&obj_type=

Expected Behavior

Either the user should not be able to use the search, or the search results should be filtered to only the models that match the view_<model> permissions that the user has assigned to it.

Observed Behavior

The user could use the search feature when not intended to be able to use it.
