Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.9-beta1

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Attempt to access any object for which permission is not granted

Expected Behavior

A NetBox specific web page expressing the lack of permission is displayed similar to the 404 not found page which displays the NetBox menu bar and a button permitting navigation somewhere else. Alternatively, redirection to the login page might be more appropriate.

Observed Behavior

When attempting to access an object for which no permission is granted, a mix of 404's and 403's are returned. I'm not clear under which circumstances each is generated but, for example, creating a connection between two devices when no permission exists at all on dcim > cables results in a 403 Forbidden error. The styling presumably reflects the web server default. However, when clicking on the name of the device at the 'B' end of that connection where some permissions exist but for which a constraint is in place, a more stylised 404 error is displayed along with the NetBox menu bar and a button to return to the home page.
