NetBox version

v2.11.3

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

At the moment if you go to /admin/users/admingroup/ you can see the number of users who are in each group. However unless I am being dense, I cannot see any way to list who those users are (apart from clicking into every single user, one by one)

I think the obvious place to do this would be to add a "group view" page, e.g. /admin/users/admingroup/1/. Currently there is only /admin/users/admingroup/1/change/, and that only lets you change permissions on a group.

(As an extension, it would be nice to be able to add/remove users here too, as it would make it easier to add users en-masse into a group, rather than going into each user one by one)

Use case

When changing the permissions for group X, I want to see which users will be potentially affected so I can check with them.

As a workaround I can do a direct SQL query, but I don't think that should be required:

select g.name,u.username from auth_group g, auth_user u, auth_user_groups ug
where g.id=ug.group_id and u.id=ug.user_id and u.is_active order by g.id,u.username;

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None

I'm going to add the ability to filter the users list by assigned group. This should be sufficient until we replace the admin UI entirely under #6466.
