Version

Netbox V2.10.5

Expected Behavior

When calling ctype = ContentType.objects.get(id=instance.assigned_object_type_id) in a plugin that is triggered by the API, it should return the requested data.

Observed Behavior

  • When querying the ContentType, I get a 403 Denied.
  • From what I can tell the user assigned to the API Key does not have permissions to access the ContentType model. Even if the user was a SuperAdmin.
  • I checked my permissions list and did have a user that could access the ContentType model.

  • When I switched the API User mapping to that user, the plugin performed as expected
  • I would like to be able to assign other users to be able to access the ContentType Model, and have SuperUsers be able to access it from within the plugin.
  • When I go into the Permissions to Add another user to that permission, the ContentType model is not available in the Models List.

I don't believe we are restricting the ContentType query as this is a builtin DJango model but perhaps @jeremystretch can confirm.
