Environment

  • Python version: Example: 3.6.9
  • NetBox version: Example: 2.9.2

Proposed Functionality

At the moment it is possible to export data e.g. from site via the export button.
Is it possible to hide the export button on every "catagory" for read only users?

Use Case

A read only user should not be able to export the data via CSV file to easily build its own netbox via an import.
Only administartors should be able to do this.
