Originally created by @jeremystretch on GitHub (Aug 3, 2020).

Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.9
  • NetBox version: v2.9-beta1

Proposed Functionality

Add a free-form description field to the ObjectPermission model

Use Case

Although the ObjectPermission model has a name field, this is intended to be brief and easily referenced. A separate description field enables an administrator to record more descriptive commentary as a discrete attribute of each permission.

Database Changes

Add a CharField named description to the ObjectPermission model. Because this change applies to a beta release, no new schema migration is necessary: The current 0008_objectpermission migration will be updated to reflect the change.

External Dependencies

None
