Originally created by @ebusto on GitHub (Jan 16, 2020).

Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6
  • NetBox version: 2.6.12

Proposed Functionality

Similar to regions, tenant groups should be nestable, in order to represent organizations with more than two levels.

For example: IT -> Infrastructure -> Network Support

Use Case

This allows companies of any appreciable size to share one NetBox instance, while tracking organizational and team level ownership accurately, without having to resort to ugly hacks or naming conventions.

Database Changes

Add a parent attribute to the TenantGroup model.

External Dependencies

None.

This differs from #2815, which was to allow the assignment of a Tenant to multiple TenantGroups. Here, Tenants are still limited to a single TenantGroup association, but TenantGroups themselves can belong to other TenantGroups (similar to how Regions can be nested).

Cross-referencing with #1754 (RackGroup nesting)

I don't think it should be coupled to #554.

I've implemented a simple and opinionated RBAC module for NetBox, and as it is a non-trivial task, it would unnecessarily delay this simple change.
